Economic rent as an alternative and better source of wealth

Taxes are typically thought of as the traditional source of money needed for a universal basic income (UBI). The problem is that a UBI means you’re taxed more than you normally are taxed.

A Citizen’s Dividend is a UBI but without the usual taxation. Instead, it uses economic rent from land and other forms of the commons as its money generator.

This rent has the potential to give you an even bigger annual stipend than traditional UBIs ever can. It won’t just keep you alive; it can make you rich.
