It’s time to start talking seriously about Basic Income (medium.com/dr_pugh)

I do think that Basic Income is a promising approach. However socialistic it may sound, we have the situation where this solution looks reasonable. We can expect drawbacks, and one of them could be the growing dependence on the state paying the Income; examples of some other states where it happens may suggest this can lead to lessening of freedoms in the society. This means that together with Basic Income the question will arise about maintaining the state to be a service to the people creating that.
