This was put to the vote and defeated in Switzerland but as automation grows and is now touching previously "white collar" middle class jobs the impetus accross the political spectrum is to take this seriously. It could be that the economic impediments to implementing this might be substantive as well as ideological. Would Money/Lab be a place for a candid examination of the different models being proposed and what the practical challenges that would be in introducing it. ----------------------------------------------- d a v i d g a r c i a On 8 Sep 2016, at 15:09, Ueberschlag Leila <leila.ueberschlag@gmail.com<mailto:leila.ueberschlag@gmail.com>> wrote: MoneyLab was present at the PeerValue Conference last week in Amsterdam and wrote an article about it called On-Demand Economy: More Regulations and Non-Profits Apps Needed to Build a Fairer Future. "Airbnb and Uber have recently been standing center stage in the international media theater. These dominant network platforms linking sellers and buyers bring new challenges to the field of the so-called collaborative economy and raise serious concern in terms of taxation, job security, healthcare insurance or work compensation. “When you get rid of governments but not of corporations, they grow out of control”, said media theorist and best-selling author Douglas Rushkoff."
