A national dividend for every citizen

For a good discussion of the complex history and embedded issues in any type of Universal Basic Income [UBI] scheme can be seen here:



UBI is fast becoming an issue for a post-2020 world. The idea that every citizen receive $US 1000 per month as a "non means tested" dividend from the nation. Making this scheme work will prove both simple and complex. It is a simple transfer of part of the GNP to the citizens of the nation that produced it. It is complex because it sets a whole new standard for the notion of payment for contribution to the economy.


Increasingly the GNP of a modern economy will be boosted by AI bots which will not [for the next 200 years perhaps] qualify for citizenship and thus not be paid the UBI payment. In a sense this may come to mean that a new AI bot army produce GNP for the benefit of all citizens not just the owners of capital. At the core of this UBI scheme is the traditional notion that distribution of GNP wealth is to the owners of capital or labour not citizens.


In a post-2020 world many traditional institutions are set to crumble, implode, or transition to entirely new forms and formats. The UBI scheme may prove to be just one of many many triggers for fundamental restructure and change for the emerging post-2020 society.
