Quote
If we accept private inheritance, we should accept social inheritance, regarding a basic income as a “social dividend” on our collective wealth. In an era of rentier capitalism, in which more and more income is being channelled to the owners of assets—physical, financial and intellectual—and in which wages will continue to stagnate, a basic income would provide an anchor for a fairer income-distribution system.— Guy Standing
