RE: Property rights and Basic Income - A viable solution is possible

in #basicincome9 years ago

I agree there are many huge benefits to a basic income so long as it is implemented in a way that doesn't result in overconsumption or disproportionate consumption. It must have a natural means of expanding and contracting with the actual productivity of the economy.

Sort:  

Even overconsumption / underconsumption is related an individual's needs (defined by Maslow) not being met. Advertising and consumerism thrive on unhappy/unfulfilled people.

When our needs are met we consume what we need and tend to create more value.
