Abstract
Everyone has the right to live.
A guaranteed income could, for the first time, free man from the threat of starvation, and thus make him truly free and independent from any economic threat.
—Erich Fromm, psychoanalyst and philosopher, The Sane Society (Greenwich, CT: Fawcett Publications, 1955)
