This concept is being considered by more and more countries, not only with leftist governments.

“Our project offers a framework for responsible wealth creation and redistribution in a sustainable manner. At the same time, it combines the interests of capital holders and recipients of basic income, who will be representatives of all social strata " - adds Yoni Assia.
