Founded in Manchester, summer 2016, World Basic Income (WBI) campaigns for the introduction of a universal and unconditional basic income through research, pilot studies, and outreach. It describes itself as a “not-for-profit multi-stakeholder co-operative, which is currently led by four directors.”
WBI is keen to develop partnerships with like-minded organizations, academics, and individuals, to build a strong research and campaign base together. They are also seeking volunteers and online promoters to help build awareness.

This sounds like good material to update, at least, one of Carrol Quigley’s works[1] for historical analysis and Paul Kennedy’s works[2] regarding guns and butter. It does remind me of one of Arthur Conan Doyle’s wonderful stories about a fellow who offers to work at low wages for a merchant.
