JFI’s work in Maricá in Vox
From the article:
“Because the Maricá program is a model of a basic income complete with a funding stream, it could prove to be one of the most interesting attempts at the policy so far. To know if basic income works as a policy, we need to know not just if benefits funded through philanthropy (as many pilots are) help; we need to know if benefits funded by the government, through taxes and royalties, see positive results. Maricá, unlike most trials to date, allows researchers to test that.”
