rutger is with me. is it?work and do the maths on it. you have to leave it so low that you leave a lot of people very poor, or so high that you can't afford it. i don't think so. basic income is the least radical of the ideas in my book. we have a lot of evidence from the 70s, in canada they did an experiment forfour years, they found that people got healthier, and didn't quit theirjobs. people have a lot of objections. it was a town near winnipeg. it was subsidised from the outside, that one. it wasn't self financing. the government paid for the basic income. as soon as you have a system where there isn't an outsider, you know, a martian to come in and pay for it all, it is very different, isn't it? i don't think so. if you look at poverty, for example. it is hugely expensive, in terms of higher health care spending, crime, high dropout rates. a study in the us found that it costs about $500 billion, just child poverty, and it will cost us billions to eradicate poverty completely. it is easier to get rid of i
