DiEM25 and the Universal Dividend

DiEM25 ‘unveils its European New Deal’ summary document.

Of particular interest is the proposal to create a Universal Dividend which could be funded from the dividends of a ‘Commons Capital Depository’.

Not a bad idea if one considers that capital is not entirely created by capitalists who should not, therefore, have the exclusive right to its returns.

For further information, check out the summary report here.

Also, remember to refer back to DiEM’s website in March 2017 when the white paper European New Deal: An Economic Agenda for European Recovery will be launched ‘in the context of the 60th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome’.
