The world is strange. I remember that in the World Bank we would be, from time to time, herded to listen to one these Nordic kings or queens telling us how social equality is great. And you kind of wonder: Seriously, YOU are telling me that? But no-one said a word.

I've long seen basic income as a desirable ideal that's probably hard to attain in practice. Universal inheritance is an interesting alternative that gets around a lot of the common criticisms.
