A German experiment gave people a basic monthly income. The effect on their work ethic was surprising

A German experiment has found that people are likely to continue working full-time even if they receive no-strings-attached universal basic income payments. Universal basic income, also known as guaranteed income, is the idea of giving money to everyone regardless of how much they already earn – to give them the freedom to move between jobs, train for new positions, provide care, or engage in creative pursuits.
