»Through a basic income, state-organized society could create a sphere of freedom through which people are empowered to initiate collective self-help within small social networks. This would not only provide material relief to the welfare state, but also foster the creation of spaces for human encounter, where people could discover the meaning of their own willingness to contribute, build confidence in their own capabilities, and learn new ways of relating to one another.« -- Lieselotte Wohlgenannt, Herwig Büchele in »Grundeinkommen ohne Arbeit« (Basic Income Without Work), 1985 #ECIUBI2027 #basicincome #ubi Also see: https://grundeinkommen.at/a/wohlgenannt/ https://basic-income.eu
