About

Ubiquitous Income is our term for referring to any kind of centrally-distributed income that isn't the result of employment or investment, including schemes otherwise known as UBI, BIG, and BMI but not including traditional "[[../welfare|welfare]]" programs. Reference works tend to use the term "basic income" for most or all of these.

  • Wikipedia: basic income
  • Conservapedia: basic incomeConservapedia is an unreliable source. is "a socialist policy where every resident of an area is guaranteed an income regardless of their employment status."
    • "According to the France-based Public Services International and the Britain-based New Economics Foundation – left-of-center organizations – universal basic income does not work well in practice." - NEF may be left-of-center, but the article they cite is in the right-leaning Epoch Times. The report offers a very thoughtful critique of UBI and raises many points, some more dubious than others, which need to be examined. Saying that the report concludes that they "don't work", however, is a bit of a misrepresentation.
