Was very excited to hear this interview today on Radio New Zealand. Katherine Ryan is interviewing Dr Guy Standing. You can either listen to the whole thing or start at 9 mins in. He's talking about an unconditional 'citizenship income'. Apparently Brazil has already implemented this.
I don't know much about Dr Standing but he is the co-president of an organisation called the Basic Income Earth Network, which can be found at http://www.basicincome.org/bien/
Sounds like NESARA to me

I cant remember who posted a similar story last year but it was related to a similar scenario where the future world will not actually have money but everything you would need was supplied to everyone free thus no need to steal it when it would be given to you. This isn't exactly the same but it appears to be the root of a future monetary system.
What's left of the worlds middle classes is going to pay for this.

Thanks heaps for posting this very exciting info!
I can't wait to hear more : )
Interesting news Merryn, here is some info from the site:
About Basic Income
A basic income is an income unconditionally granted to all on an individual basis, without means test or work requirement. It is a form of minimum income guarantee that differs from those that now exist in various European countries in three important ways:
Liberty and equality, efficiency and community, common ownership of the Earth and equal sharing in the benefits of technical progress, the flexibility of the labour market and the dignity of the poor, the fight against inhumane working conditions, against the desertification of the countryside and against interregional inequalities, the viability of cooperatives and the promotion of adult education, autonomy from bosses, husbands and bureaucrats, have all been invoked in its favour.
But it is the inability to tackle unemployment with conventional means that has led in the last decade or so to the idea being taken seriously throughout Europe by a growing number of scholars and organizations. Social policy and economic policy can no longer be conceived separately, and basic income is increasingly viewed as the only viable way of reconciling two of their respective central objectives: poverty relief and full employment.
There is a wide variety of proposals around. They differ according to the amounts involved, the source of funding, the nature and size of the reductions in other transfers, and along many other dimensions. As far as short-term proposals are concerned, however, the current discussion is focusing increasingly on so-called partial basic income schemes which would not be full substitutes for present guaranteed income schemes but would provide a low - and slowly increasing - basis to which other incomes, including the remaining social security benefits and means-tested guaranteed income supplements, could be added.
Many prominent European social scientists have now come out in favour of basic income - among them two Nobel laureates in economics. In a few countries some major politicians, including from parties in government, are also beginning to stick their necks out in support of it. At the same time, the relevant literature - on the economic, ethical, political and legal aspects - is gradually expanding and those promoting the idea, or just interested in it, in various European countries and across the world have started organizing into an active network.
