At the University of London, a professor of development studies, Guy Standing has co-found the Basic Income Earth network and was quoted saying, “When people stop working out of fear, they become more productive” (as quoted in Wheeler). Whereas some people may become more productive, focused on educating themselves, and reproductive, there are always going to be lazy individuals. If basic income is placed into
