A Citizen’s Dividend aims to give everyone a form of universal income

Economic rent, put simply, is a sort of unearned income. The benefits a farmer gets from having land that just so happens to be more fertile. The farmer can produce more fruits and vegetables. It is an unearned form of income.

A Citizen’s Dividend aims to give everyone a form of universal income.

It is the income financed from all the accumulated economic rent throughout society, particularly when it comes to economic rent from land.

It has all the benefits of traditional welfare or a universal basic income. The difference is Citizen’s Dividend gives people more than what these traditional big government systems do without needing to raise taxes for anyone.
