  • Should we have a universal basic income?
    Alberto Bagnai disagrees and says:
    They call it the basic income of all citizens (“reddito di cittadinanza”), but here in Italy we will call it the basic income of the land (“reddito della gleba”, in reference to feudal serfs, or “servi della gleba”, who were linked to the land). We would save characters, and we will be closer to the essence of the reasoning. As much as serfdom (“servitu’ della gleba”) linked the serfs to the land, the basic income of the land is to link the new serfs to precarious employment (source)
