just incase you weren’t sold on “Utopia for Realists” by Rutger Bregman
the literal second chapter is called “Why We Should Give Free Money To Everyone”
it cites study after study in all of its chapters and historical events related to support the idea (or how history did support it but politicians killed it and none of it is solely US based)
i’m presently on chapter six “A Fifteen Hour Work Week” and i’m so excited to learn about tho possibilities
it’s Real Good #amreading
