The idea of a basic income is that everyone receives a modest “salary” from the state. Every week, every month. Unconditionally and in equal parts to men and women. Children receive a lower contribution. Thinkers from the different political camps have long been demanding this.

With the state aid that is now being spent across the board during the corona crisis, the scenario of a “UBI” seems increasingly realistic.
