Thirty lucky winners drawn by lot will receive 1,600 pounds each month for two years, or just under 1,900 euros, without lifting a finger. This Monday in Jarrow, in the North of England, and in East Finchley, a district of London, the think tank Autonomy is launching an experiment in universal income. That is to say the guarantee of a bank account filled at the beginning of each month, without declaration or proof of income, whether the beneficiary chooses to work or not and whatever his financial and family situation.
