Someone in france, Gaspard Koenig support an interesting view on liberalism. the system should support autonomy, meaning that people should be secure enough to dare to behave autonomously and not to depend on anybody. the problem with basic income is that it should be paid anyway by someone who is paid for his activity. Basic income is good not because it shares, but because it allows people to be free enough to dare to produce better, and thus to increase the total value, or reduce the total required effort or resource . This is the same reason why "social security" (health, retirement, education saving/insurance) if good for economics (people feel safer thus produce better, invest riskier and consume more) real efficient behavior for the poor is not to share your wealth but allow them to produce it. economic growth and international commerce have done more for Chinese extreme poverty, and even African poverty (just beginning, mostly by Chinese immigrant influence - joke), than all charity programs. best solution to save people from cataclysm is to make them richer
