Ownership or access to assets\u2014such as equity shares, certain types of land, education, and social connections\u2014is what gives people the foundation to generate an income and therefore create more wealth.\xa0\n\nBrian Wang\u2019s Basic Power\n\ngoo.gl/9RLZE3\n\nUniversal basic infrastructure as an alternative to UBI?\n\nPost Scarcity\n\ngoo.gl/3JmZr2\n\nPost-scarcity is an economic theory in which most goods can be produced in great abundance with minimal human labor needed, so that they become available to all very cheaply or even freely.\n\nWT 358-667
