Interesting project, but personally I would be more interested to see the funding of a study on &quot;basic financial freedom&quot;.<p>The test is quite similar, but instead of giving them a basic income participants are still required create their own income - however, they no longer have to pay taxes on their income.  They are encouraged to create businesses and those businesses are also free from tax, and those employed by said businesses are also free from tax.<p>50 years from now, I think it will seem ridiculous that we used to allow government to take our money ;)
