The foundation Jesteśmy Zmianą (“We are the change”) has organized an international conference entitled “Two Pillars of an Economy of Abundance” (“Dwa Filary Gospodarke Obfitości”), which will be held at the National Library in Warsaw this Friday and Saturday (June 17-18).
The conference is organized around two main topics: sovereign money, the theme of Friday’s lectures and discussions, and basic income, the theme of Saturday’s.
Presenters on basic income include:
• Jurgen De Wispelaere (University of Tampere): “Moving basic income up the agenda: evidence, policy and politics”
• Ryszard Szarfenberg (Institute of Social Policy at University of Warsaw): “Base income in the context of development and reforms of the welfare capitalism”
• Ville-Veikko Pulkka (University of Helsinki; Kela): “The Finnish basic income experiment”
• Maciej Szlinder (University in Poznań): “Basic income as a tool for systemic transformation”
• Izabela Litwin: “Towards economy of abundance”
For a complete program (in Polish), or to register, see the conference webpage. The event is free to the public.
Videos of the presentations will be available after the conference.

People are going to debate about whether or not to have a basic income until we will all decide to just throw away money altogether. Then after we throw away our counting systems we will not be able to track how many people there are on the planet. We will have over population. There should be an X amount of money per person regardless if you work or not. Think of it as two extremes. Which one works? No money no accounting or Everyone having money and everyone is accounted. Bankers and statisticians and Governments can have fun modeling their world at the same time everyone else doing their thing.
Right now only those that are alive want to live and work. But, if you get laid off due to factories or technology being too damn efficient then your DEAD from homelessness or OIL wars or whatever.
So, bottom line is use computers to now track everyone one for an income. In the 1980’s is when spread sheets where invented, called Visi-Calc. The Bankers of the World did not have this when the Federal Reserve was founded. They had to do it all by paper and hand. But, now computers can now make it possible to give everyone a utopia dream. Then the Internet was popularized by Microsoft Windows and the Personal Computers. Unix was popularize by Linux. Windows runs the Clients and Linux runs the web servers.
EBT + SSN = Basic Income.
It will be the end of paper money. Paper is too easy to counterfeit wage wars sell drugs and everything illegal.
