Abstract

The recent studies on the basic income appear to focus on institutional, administrative, and financial affordability as a functional alternative to the existing social security system. Yet the fundamental goal and ethical justification of basic income is the real freedom achievable only through `delaborization`, which requires strategies on how to delink income from work or wage labor. This ideological rather than functional approach is asked to overcome three hurdles: opposing arguments based on reciprocity as the people`s principle; perception of work as wage labor and work ethics; the payer`s claim of wider and deeper legitimacy and control, and the right base of payees. As such, we need much more discussion on various strategies and versions of basic income, including participation income, as an example, that appears to be a good incremental strategy towards basic income in that it fits to the popular sense of reciprocity, it can gradually change work perception and work ethics, and it intuitively provides a right base of income.
