It’s not welfare, but a Special Purpose Vehicle
One of the things that makes a Citizen’s Dividend different from welfare or a traditional universal basic income is that it doesn’t involve increasing the size or role of government.
Everyone gets a regular stipend generated from the collection of economic rent from things like land and natural resources. But the government isn’t in charge of this extraction and redistribution process.
Instead, it’s a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) doing the work, just like the UK’s Crown Estate. An SPV is an independent organisation that isn’t affected by party politics or government corruption.
