UBI arrives in Europe!

Dear friend,

Three European countries are about to set up experiments on the Unconditional Basic Income: Finland, Holland and France. This shows that the UBI begins to be considered in Europe as a serious solution to the crisis of growth and employment.

It will show to the people of the country that the UBI is not an utopia, but a realistic project which answers a real need.
