 A new way to share the world's wealth,
​to guarantee 
every man, woman and child the means to live.

WORLD BASIC INCOME

Sounds good to me

WBI are HIRING! 
See here for details of our new paid role.

Latest:    Starting amount for world basic income raised to $30 per person per month

Our world is wealthy, but much of that wealth is owned by just a few people, while some people have almost nothing. To make a better, happier world, we need to find ways to share wealth more fairly.

One way that wealth can be shared out is by a government or organisation collecting money through taxes, levies or fees, and then giving a share of that money unconditionally to everyone, to spend as they see fit. This is called a ‘basic income’. If this money is gathered at the international level, and then shared out among every person in the world, this would be a ‘world basic income’.

This organisation, World Basic Income, is campaigning for the introduction of a scheme like this. We believe that every person in the world has a right to life, and that providing us all with a regular basic income is a good way to help secure this right. We believe that a world basic income is just and fair, that it could help to end poverty, and that it would ease many of the social, economic and political problems that we face.
