Launch of a european campaign for basic income

Posted on March 25, 2013 by Stanislas Jourdan

Months of efforts were rewarded last week : you can now officially sign the european citizens initiative for unconditional basic income.

This initiative is a project I have been coordinating for one year with people from 15 countries. Our goal is to have the EU commission make a case for a basic income in Europe. For that matter we need to collect one million signatures within one year.

If you support the idea, please sign our initiative by following this link: http://sign.basicincome2013.eu

Thank you!

The case for a basic income in Greece

Posted on February 14, 2012 by Stanislas Jourdan

Defaulting on its debt and exiting the eurozone is certainly the best thing to do for Greece now. However, this won’t fix all the damages Greece experienced these last years of economical dictatorship. Greece needs more than that. Greece needs a new hope: a basic income scheme.
