I’m generally oriented to a more libertarian, laissez-faire, let the “exploiting” entrepreneur do what he or she will approach, but I would also love to see more initiatives like the one you described.

Sri Aurobindo said something like, “a truly communist society will only happen with widespread (universal?) Vedanta.”

I know for myself that my own sense of scarcity is such that I would want/need to create my own business (or more specifically establish my coaching practice) first, before being open to creating businesses or organizations that don’t have a profit.

That said, I would tentatively support a minimum guaranteed income, at least within my own country, the US, and encourage other countries to do similarly, if that would mean doing away with a lot of other welfare services, taxes, and government programs. I believe this idea was elaborated by prominent libertarian thinkers.

Thanks for writing. Be blessed!

Jacob
