0:01:32.040,0:01:34.319 What idea could[br]unite thinkers so different 0:01:34.319,0:01:37.000 such as Thomas Payne,[br]who thought that the government 0:01:37.000,0:01:39.120 is the solution to most of our problems, 0:01:39.120,0:01:41.319 and on the other hand,[br]Friedrik von Hayek, 0:01:41.319,0:01:43.680 the Austrian economist,[br]who said that, well, 0:01:43.680,0:01:47.519 the Government is in fact[br]the problem, most of the time. 0:01:47.519,0:01:50.719 What is this idea, that goes[br]against the spirit of our time, 0:01:50.719,0:01:52.959 right through[br]the old political divisions 0:01:52.959,0:01:55.799 between the left and the right? 0:01:55.799,0:01:58.219 What is this great idea,[br]this Utopian idea 0:01:58.219,0:02:01.159 that so many of[br]history's greatest thinkers 0:02:01.159,0:02:03.680 have been dreaming[br]about for centuries, 0:02:03.680,0:02:06.060 yet which has failed to come true, 0:02:06.060,0:02:07.600 so far? 0:02:09.360,0:02:14.360 Well, some people call it[br]the "citizen's dividend"; 0:02:14.360,0:02:18.199 other people call it[br]the "basic income." 0:02:18.199,0:02:20.200 Now, I like to call it 0:02:20.200,0:02:24.080 "free money for everyone." 0:02:24.080,0:02:28.840 Now, that sounds good, right? 0:02:28.840,0:02:30.319 I know, it also sounds 0:02:30.319,0:02:31.719 like a Utopian fantasy, 0:02:31.719,0:02:33.840 something that will never come true, 0:02:33.840,0:02:35.639 especially not in our lifetime. 0:02:35.639,0:02:38.039 But I want to remind you beforehand: 0:02:38.039,0:02:41.400 Utopias have a tendency[br]of coming true. 0:02:41.400,0:02:44.439 Just think of how[br]the end of slavery, 0:02:44.439,0:02:46.639 equal rights for men and women,[br]and democracy, 0:02:46.639,0:02:49.719 they were all regarded[br]as impossible ideals, once. 0:02:49.719,0:02:54.560 But in history, there is[br]something called progress. 0:02:54.560,0:02:58.840 So let's start with this[br]simple, basic question: 0:02:58.840,0:03:00.940 What is the basic income? 0:03:00.940,0:03:05.000 Well, it is a monthly grant, 0:03:05.000,0:03:07.200 enough to pay for your basic needs: 0:03:07.200,0:03:09.520 food, shelter, education. 0:03:09.520,0:03:11.520 That's it. 0:03:11.520,0:03:13.000 Now, some of you might ask: 0:03:13.000,0:03:14.772 Don't we have this already? 0:03:14.772,0:03:17.199 Isn't there something[br]called social security, 0:03:17.199,0:03:19.599 don't we have the welfare state? 0:03:19.599,0:03:23.400 Well, yes, but the basic income[br]is something entirely different. 0:03:23.400,0:03:26.960 In the first place, it's universal, 0:03:26.960,0:03:29.360 so everyone would get it. 0:03:29.360,0:03:31.759 Whether you're a billionaire or a beggar, 0:03:31.759,0:03:34.639 whether you're a man or a woman,[br]employed or unemployed, 0:03:34.639,0:03:36.280 the basic income is a right, 0:03:36.280,0:03:39.080 a right as a citizen of your country. 0:03:39.080,0:03:41.759 Moreover, it's also unconditional, 0:03:41.759,0:03:43.120 so you get it no matter what. 0:03:43.120,0:03:46.240 No one's going to tell you[br]what you have to do with it; 0:03:46.240,0:03:49.520 no one's going to tell you[br]what you have to do for it. 0:03:49.520,0:03:52.039 The basic income is not a favor, 0:03:52.039,0:03:55.159 but it's a right, just like, for example, 0:03:55.159,0:03:58.639 the freedom of speech is a right as well. 0:03:58.639,0:04:00.500 But most importantly, 0:04:00.500,0:04:05.039 in the past few decades,[br]in the past 30 or 40 years, 0:04:05.039,0:04:06.759 it has become more than just an idea. 0:04:06.759,0:04:08.080 "Free money for everyone" 0:04:08.080,0:04:10.039 is more than just an idea nowadays, 0:04:10.039,0:04:13.163 it has become a proven idea. 0:04:13.163,0:04:14.639 As you can see on this map, 0:04:14.639,0:04:16.759 there have been experiments 0:04:16.759,0:04:18.582 -- this map is from 2012, by the way -- 0:04:18.582,0:04:20.934 there have been experiments[br]all over the world 0:04:20.934,0:04:22.560 and especially in the South, 0:04:22.560,0:04:27.199 from Mexico to Brazil,[br]from South Africa to India, 0:04:27.199,0:04:30.560 researchers and governments[br]have experimented 0:04:30.560,0:04:33.279 with giving people free money. 0:04:33.279,0:04:36.560 This map shows all the[br]"cash transfer programs" 0:04:36.560,0:04:40.583 as they call them, that reach[br]at least 5,000 individuals. 0:04:40.583,0:04:44.720 And there have also been[br]very large-scale experiments 0:04:44.720,0:04:47.319 in the 70s and 80s in Canada[br]and in the United States. 0:04:47.319,0:04:48.959 They're almost forgotten nowadays, 0:04:48.959,0:04:51.199 but they were a big success. 0:04:51.199,0:04:54.920 Now, what researchers have shown,[br]time and time and again, 0:04:54.920,0:04:58.040 by comparing a test group[br]of poor people who receive free money, 0:04:58.040,0:05:01.680 and a similar control group,[br]so that they could see the effects -- 0:05:01.680,0:05:06.439 time and time again, they have shown[br]that free money results in -- 0:05:06.439,0:05:09.879 well, lower inequality,[br]lower poverty, obviously; 0:05:09.879,0:05:16.360 but it also results in[br]less infant mortality, 0:05:16.360,0:05:20.639 lower health care costs,[br]lower crime rates, 0:05:20.639,0:05:22.639 better school completion records, 0:05:22.639,0:05:24.680 less truancy, higher economic growth, 0:05:24.680,0:05:26.800 better emancipation rates, 0:05:26.800,0:05:30.639 and all kinds of other[br]positive social outcomes. 0:05:30.639,0:05:33.759 Time and time again,[br]researchers have shown 0:05:33.759,0:05:36.439 that free money may be[br]the most efficient, 0:05:36.439,0:05:39.560 the cheapest, and the most civilized way 0:05:39.560,0:05:42.519 to combat poverty. 0:05:42.519,0:05:45.879 Now, I'm not going to[br]be able to summarize 0:05:45.879,0:05:47.835 all the experiments that happened on it, 0:05:47.835,0:05:50.445 so I want to tell you[br]about just one experiment 0:05:50.445,0:05:55.040 that was done a few years ago[br]in the City of London. 0:05:55.040,0:05:58.199 Now, this was an experiment[br]with some homeless men. 0:05:58.199,0:06:01.639 To be exact, 13 homeless men 0:06:01.639,0:06:05.240 that lived on the streets of London. 0:06:05.240,0:06:07.639 They were "street veterans": 0:06:07.639,0:06:10.600 Some of them had been living[br]on the cold tiles of "square mile", 0:06:10.600,0:06:12.680 which is the financial district of London, 0:06:12.680,0:06:15.399 for more than 40 years. 0:06:15.399,0:06:16.839 And I have to mention, 0:06:16.839,0:06:20.240 their presence was far from cheap -- 0:06:20.240,0:06:22.680 think of health care costs, 0:06:22.680,0:06:24.920 legal cost, policing costs -- 0:06:24.920,0:06:26.959 they were costing[br]the British taxpayers 0:06:26.959,0:06:31.439 hundreds of thousands[br]of pounds every year. 0:06:31.439,0:06:34.000 So, everything had been[br]tried at that point 0:06:34.000,0:06:36.319 and it was time for something new. 0:06:36.319,0:06:40.240 In the spring of 2009,[br]a local charity decided: 0:06:40.240,0:06:44.839 Well, why not try free money instead? 0:06:44.839,0:06:48.819 So, each of the homeless men[br]received £3,000. 0:06:48.819,0:06:50.319 Cash. 0:06:50.319,0:06:52.344 No strings attached. 0:06:52.977,0:06:54.959 They were completely free to decide 0:06:54.959,0:06:58.120 whatever they wanted to do with the money. 0:06:58.120,0:07:02.040 The only question they had[br]to answer for themselves was: 0:07:02.040,0:07:05.309 What do you think is good for you? 0:07:05.309,0:07:08.800 Counseling services[br]were completely optional. 0:07:08.800,0:07:11.040 Now, of course, most of the aid workers, 0:07:11.040,0:07:13.160 they didn't have high expectations: 0:07:13.160,0:07:14.800 they thought that, well, 0:07:14.800,0:07:17.125 the men are probably going[br]to spend the money 0:07:17.125,0:07:21.319 on alcohol or drugs or gambling[br]or something like that. 0:07:21.319,0:07:23.156 But then, something amazing happened. 0:07:23.156,0:07:24.986 What happened in the first place was 0:07:24.986,0:07:27.519 that the men turned out[br]to be extremely frugal 0:07:27.519,0:07:29.279 with the money they received. 0:07:29.279,0:07:31.000 At the end of the first year 0:07:31.000,0:07:33.936 only £800 had been spent on average. 0:07:33.936,0:07:36.122 And what did they spend it on? 0:07:36.122,0:07:39.120 A phone or a passport[br]or a dictionary, 0:07:39.120,0:07:40.639 each had his own idea 0:07:40.639,0:07:42.920 of what would be best for him. 0:07:42.920,0:07:46.609 Moreover, a year later[br]the impossible had happened; 0:07:46.609,0:07:50.040 7 out of 13 of the men[br]had a roof above their head. 0:07:50.040,0:07:52.279 Two more had applied for housing. 0:07:52.279,0:07:55.519 Some of the men took gardening classes; 0:07:55.519,0:07:58.439 another learned how to cook, for example. 0:07:58.439,0:08:00.839 They visited their children, again. 0:08:00.839,0:08:04.480 And all of the men[br]made plans for the future. 0:08:04.480,0:08:09.360 It sort of seemed as if[br]the cash had empowered them. 0:08:09.360,0:08:12.839 Now, I don't know if there's[br]a politician in the room, 0:08:12.839,0:08:15.439 but a politician would[br]probably ask at this point: 0:08:15.439,0:08:17.680 Well, this is a very interesting story, 0:08:17.680,0:08:19.359 but what did it cost? 0:08:19.359,0:08:20.959 What did the experiment cost? 0:08:20.959,0:08:25.160 Well, the answer is £50,000, 0:08:25.160,0:08:28.000 including the wages of the aid workers. 0:08:28.000,0:08:32.639 So, in addition to giving[br]at least seven individuals 0:08:32.639,0:08:35.558 another shot at life,[br]the project had saved money 0:08:35.558,0:08:37.558 by a factor of at least seven. 0:08:37.558,0:08:40.799 And this is a very[br]conservative estimate. 0:08:40.799,0:08:45.720 Even the liberal,[br]free market magazine, 0:08:45.720,0:08:47.634 The Economist,[br]concluded at that point: 0:08:47.634,0:08:50.200 The most effeicient way to spend[br]money on the homeless 0:08:50.200,0:08:51.999 might be just to give it to them. 0:08:51.999,0:08:53.999 (Laughter) 0:08:53.999,0:08:57.480 Experiments such as these, and[br]they've been done all around the world, 0:08:57.480,0:09:01.100 show us that we need to rethink[br]what poverty actually is. 0:09:01.100,0:09:04.559 Poverty is not a lack of character; 0:09:04.559,0:09:07.559 poverty is a lack of money! 0:09:07.559,0:09:10.040 Nothing more, nothing less. 0:09:10.040,0:09:13.080 So, it turns out that it's a great idea 0:09:13.080,0:09:17.519 just to give money to the poor[br]if you want to resolve that problem. 0:09:19.519,0:09:20.519 Ladies and gentlemen, 0:09:20.519,0:09:23.600 we are living through a time and age 0:09:23.600,0:09:28.039 in which our societies and economies[br]are changing faster than ever. 0:09:28.039,0:09:30.480 It's an age of automation; 0:09:30.480,0:09:34.360 the robots are coming for our jobs. 0:09:34.360,0:09:37.120 Now, this will bring, obviously,[br]great prosperity, 0:09:37.120,0:09:40.399 but it also means that[br]we will have to adjust. 0:09:40.399,0:09:42.120 If we do not adjust, 0:09:42.120,0:09:45.279 if we keep applying the[br]solutions of the 20th century 0:09:45.279,0:09:47.679 to the challenges of the 21st century, 0:09:47.679,0:09:50.840 then the middle class will crumble,[br]and inequality will soar. 0:09:50.840,0:09:54.080 And truly this is a dystopian future. 0:09:54.080,0:09:57.360 Nowadays, governments are obsessed 0:09:57.360,0:09:59.320 with pushing people into jobs, 0:09:59.320,0:10:02.000 even when there are no jobs. 0:10:02.000,0:10:05.519 It's like the great inventor[br]Buckminster Fuller once said: 0:10:05.519,0:10:07.840 So we have inspectors of inspectors, 0:10:07.840,0:10:11.279 and people making instruments[br]for inspectors to inspect inspectors. 0:10:11.279,0:10:14.000 The true business of people[br]should be to go back to school 0:10:14.000,0:10:16.240 and think about whatever[br]it was they were doing 0:10:16.240,0:10:17.840 before somebody told them 0:10:17.840,0:10:20.339 they had to earn a living. 0:10:20.339,0:10:24.159 I believe that the basic income[br]is a better alternative 0:10:24.159,0:10:26.580 to our current welfare mess. 0:10:26.580,0:10:31.000 But I have to admit, throughout history, 0:10:31.000,0:10:33.919 there have always been[br]three arguments against it, 0:10:33.919,0:10:36.960 three formidable objections. 0:10:36.960,0:10:39.050 The first goes something like this: 0:10:39.050,0:10:42.279 Oh, it's an interesting idea, but -- 0:10:42.279,0:10:46.360 I've done some calculations[br]and it's too expensive. 0:10:46.360,0:10:49.600 Sorry, can't pay for it.[br]It's not going to work. 0:10:49.600,0:10:51.120 Now, this might have been true 0:10:51.120,0:10:53.960 in the times of Thomas Payne,[br]200 years ago, 0:10:53.960,0:10:56.460 when almost everyone,[br]almost everywhere, 0:10:56.460,0:10:58.820 was sick, poor, hungry and ugly. 0:10:58.820,0:11:00.020 (Laughter) 0:11:00.020,0:11:02.840 But it's not true anymore. 0:11:02.840,0:11:06.679 As a society, we are richer than ever! 0:11:06.679,0:11:09.080 I'd like to see the basic income 0:11:09.080,0:11:10.519 as a dividend of progress. 0:11:10.519,0:11:12.720 Because our forefathers worked so hard 0:11:12.720,0:11:15.039 to achieve our current[br]level of prosperity, 0:11:15.039,0:11:17.240 we can now afford to give everyone 0:11:17.240,0:11:20.360 a share of their accomplishments. 0:11:20.360,0:11:22.085 And remember, 0:11:23.373,0:11:28.440 eradicating poverty[br]is actually an investment. 0:11:28.440,0:11:29.879 An economist calculated 0:11:29.879,0:11:33.000 that it would cost about $175b 0:11:33.000,0:11:37.120 to eradicate poverty in United States. 0:11:37.120,0:11:38.799 That's quite a lot of money, right? 0:11:38.799,0:11:42.960 $175b each year -- 0:11:42.960,0:11:47.039 But it's only a quarter[br]of the country's military budget. 0:11:47.039,0:11:50.479 So this is entirely possible,[br]it's entirely doable. 0:11:50.480,0:11:52.991 And after ten, or maybe twenty years, 0:11:52.991,0:11:55.662 it wll turn out that the investment[br]has paid for itself. 0:11:55.662,0:11:59.463 Because the government will save billions[br]in lower health care costs, 0:11:59.463,0:12:01.240 there will be less crime, 0:12:01.240,0:12:04.679 and there will be lots more[br]productive citizens 0:12:04.679,0:12:07.200 who will be able[br]to fulfill their dreams. 0:12:07.200,0:12:09.919 So, let's move onto[br]the second objection, 0:12:09.919,0:12:11.919 maybe that one's better. 0:12:11.919,0:12:13.360 The second objection is: 0:12:13.360,0:12:15.559 Ah, this is an interesting idea, 0:12:15.559,0:12:17.465 we might be able to pay for it, 0:12:17.465,0:12:19.131 but um -- 0:12:19.131,0:12:20.919 when you give people free money, 0:12:20.919,0:12:22.879 they will stop working! 0:12:22.879,0:12:27.120 You know, it's human nature,[br]people are lazy, 0:12:27.120,0:12:29.320 nothing can be done about that. 0:12:29.320,0:12:31.040 The interesting thing, here, is that 0:12:31.040,0:12:33.480 if I asked each one of you, in this room: 0:12:33.480,0:12:36.359 Would you stop working when I'll give you, 0:12:36.359,0:12:39.120 you know, about 1000 € each month? 0:12:39.120,0:12:41.639 About 99% of you would say: 0:12:41.639,0:12:47.759 Of course not. I've got dreams,[br]I've got ambitions, 0:12:47.759,0:12:50.519 I'm not going to sit on the couch, no. 0:12:50.519,0:12:52.799 But if I asked[br]each and everyone of you, 0:12:52.799,0:12:55.600 What would other people do, 0:12:55.600,0:12:58.440 when they receive[br]1000 € each month? 0:12:58.440,0:13:00.200 I think about 99% of you would say: 0:13:00.200,0:13:02.260 Yeah, other people, 0:13:02.260,0:13:04.200 they'll probably stop working! 0:13:04.200,0:13:05.690 (Laughter) 0:13:05.690,0:13:09.440 You know, it's human nature,[br]they're lazy -- 0:13:09.440,0:13:12.300 If that's what you're thinking,[br]I've got some news for you. 0:13:12.300,0:13:15.240 The experiments that were[br]conducted all over the world, 0:13:15.240,0:13:17.679 and also common sense, actually tell us 0:13:17.679,0:13:21.080 that most people want[br]to contribute to society. 0:13:21.080,0:13:24.799 Most people want to make[br]something of their lives! 0:13:24.799,0:13:27.089 In fact some of the[br]experiments have shown 0:13:27.089,0:13:29.112 that poor people, especially poor people, 0:13:29.112,0:13:32.679 actually work more,[br]when you give them a free grant. 0:13:32.679,0:13:35.080 Because it gives them the opportunity 0:13:35.080,0:13:38.089 to invest in their lives,[br]or in their business, for example. 0:13:39.879,0:13:42.000 The third objection,[br]ladies and gentlemen, 0:13:42.000,0:13:46.720 might be the most difficult to overcome. 0:13:46.720,0:13:48.399 I hear people sometimes say: 0:13:48.399,0:13:50.279 "Well, this is a great idea. 0:13:50.279,0:13:53.840 We might be able to pay for it[br]and I won't stop working, 0:13:53.840,0:13:56.000 and maybe they won't too -- 0:13:56.000,0:14:00.200 -- but er -- this is too big! 0:14:00.200,0:14:04.679 You know, politicians nowadays[br]they're too busy with themselves. 0:14:04.679,0:14:07.980 And it's never going to happen,[br]they're always shortsighted, 0:14:07.980,0:14:10.120 and this is just too big an idea. 0:14:10.120,0:14:12.669 I don't think it's going to happen." 0:14:12.669,0:14:16.180 Well, if that's what you're thinking,[br]I want to introduce you to this man. 0:14:20.000,0:14:21.740 You know him, right? 0:14:21.740,0:14:23.500 This is Richard Nixon. 0:14:23.500,0:14:25.759 The conservative president, 0:14:25.759,0:14:28.440 the corrupt president, from[br]the Watergate scandal? 0:14:28.440,0:14:32.120 Yes! It was this man[br]who almost implemented 0:14:32.120,0:14:34.799 a modest basic income[br]at the beginning of the 70s 0:14:34.799,0:14:36.360 in the United States. 0:14:36.360,0:14:38.600 It almost happened! 0:14:38.600,0:14:42.679 His proposal got through[br]the House of Representatives 0:14:42.679,0:14:45.429 and it hit the Senate floor[br]where doubts returned 0:14:45.429,0:14:47.480 because some more[br]progressive senators said: 0:14:47.480,0:14:50.509 Oh, this is a great idea,[br]but we want a larger basic income, 0:14:50.509,0:14:52.856 so we're going to reject this proposal,[br]and -- 0:14:52.856,0:14:55.879 well, we never heard of it again. 0:14:55.879,0:14:59.759 It's an almost forgotten episode[br]in the history of United States. 0:14:59.759,0:15:03.440 But it shows us[br]that of course it's possible. 0:15:03.440,0:15:05.240 Remember, once again: 0:15:05.240,0:15:09.960 Utopias have a tendency of coming true. 0:15:09.960,0:15:11.399 The end of slavery, 0:15:11.399,0:15:13.720 equal rights for men and women, democracy, 0:15:13.720,0:15:18.080 they were all regarded as[br]impossible Utopian ideals once. 0:15:18.080,0:15:21.200 But in history, there is[br]something called progress, 0:15:21.200,0:15:24.879 however slow and erratic it might be. 0:15:24.879,0:15:29.159 All we need is a little[br]more patience, sometimes. 0:15:29.159,0:15:33.340 All we need is a lot[br]more collective ambition. 0:15:34.840,0:15:39.089 Now, I understand that a short TED talk[br]is probably not enough to convince you 0:15:39.089,0:15:41.360 that free money for everyone[br]is going to be 0:15:41.360,0:15:43.519 the biggest idea of the 21st century. 0:15:43.519,0:15:45.679 So, I encourage you[br]to read more about it, 0:15:45.679,0:15:47.919 to look at the evidence for yourself, 0:15:47.919,0:15:53.159 and think: Isn't it time[br]to update my worldview? 0:15:53.159,0:15:58.120 As I said, our ideas often[br]lag behind the speed 0:15:58.120,0:16:01.159 at which our societies[br]and economies are changing. 0:16:01.159,0:16:05.039 The basic income may not be implemented[br]in the next 3 or 4 years, 0:16:05.039,0:16:09.639 but it may be implemented[br]in the next 30 or 40 years. 0:16:09.639,0:16:12.159 Ideas can and do change the world. 0:16:12.159,0:16:14.600 In fact, history is ruled by little else. 0:16:14.600,0:16:18.819 It's like the famous Irish poet,[br]Oscar Wilde, once said: 0:16:18.819,0:16:24.039 "Stronger than a thousand armies[br]is an idea whose time has come." 0:16:24.039,0:16:26.669 And I believe that in this century[br]the time has come 0:16:26.669,0:16:29.269 for free money for everyone. 0:16:29.279,0:16:30.679 Thank you very much. 0:16:30.679,0:16:33.679 (Applause)
