"A basic income is a long-term objective, giving everybody in our rich societies a basic amount on which to survive with dignity, as a right. My view is that we should judge policies by whether or not they move us towards that long-term goal. The point is that basic security provides us all with an anchor on which to develop our potential and to act responsibly and rationally towards our relatives, neighbours, friends and colleagues. Insecure people easily lose their sense of empathy. It corrodes our character." basicincome.org.uk/article/2013/08/guy-standing-interview-precariat/
