The notion of creating new money and giving it in equal share to the citizens of the UK may sound ridiculous, but this article by Mehdi Hasan in The Huffington Post explains that the idea isn’t as radical as it sounds. For an economy to thrive money must be available and mobile so creating and distributing new money is a logical response to a system where too much of the money is being hoarded or used for financial gambling. Logical but not sensible, in the long term. There are better ways of making sure that enough money is always available and mobile to keep the productive economy healthy.
