New article from me about the Marshall Islands becoming the first country with a Universal Basic Income, what the details are, how it came to be, and what may come next.

Side note: It's hard to express how big a deal this is, especially for me personally. I hope this is the first of many dominoes.

@scottsantens You’ve been banging the UBI drum for a long time. Glad there’s now a real example.

Hopefully many more to follow, as you say.
