Karen Serwonka asked:


"The guaranteed livable income certainly sounds more far-reaching and, 
as such, more equitable. 

Can anyone on the listserv point to detailed sources of this - either in 
the form of adopted or proposed policies to illustrate how such a policy 
could be developed and implemented."

I network:

The Canadian list-serv on this is [log in to unmask]

And it's a cracker!! - eg the NDP in Alberta is promoting 
GLI/GBI/LIFE/GAIA/BI - various names. And there's news there of a GLI 
experiment in Dauphin in Manitoba in the 60's that being written up at 
present, etc, etc

Google: Living Income for everybody  - leads, eg, to 
http://pacificcoast.net/~swag/guaranteedincome.htm  etc,etc

Apologies for many postings by me today - but these are exciting  times!

hugs

john
