Si acum schimbul de e-mailuri foarte consistent si util mie desi foarte scurt postat cum se intampla cand copiez un email de la cel mai nou e-mail spre cel mai vechi deci e bine sa fie citite de la coada spre inceput si am incercat sa-i ascult sfatul dat in ultimul e-maul din aceasta serie si sa scriu dar fara prea mare rezonanta dar daca vor mai urma si altele va voi tine la curent caci din astea sunt cele ce le pot face maximal :

If you can't travel, your writing can. So, keep writing and getting your ideas out. I don't have any advice about how to do it, but I know it's best to keep doing.

Dear professor Karl Widerquist,
Thank you very much for your prommt answer.
Two things I want to add, one is that it is very difficult for me to leave Bucharest, Romania, although I would appreciate it a lot and secondly that I do not speak of the Third Way as in the earlier manner , but as the third path of socio-economic evolution of humanity in the era of globalization, and if it were to be followed, it would perfectly eliminate class conflicts and conflicts between states.
This is a new pradigm on property, beyond socialists and capitalists: people are born free and equal because they live strictly as owners of their work capacity, equal co-owners of natural resources before human use and private owners of working tools. This is where the correct distribution is and the role of the economists is to create that economic model.
Sure UBI follow that as a fundamental pillar of this Third way.
Yours sincerely,
a.

I don't use the term "third way" because it's been used for a bunch of policies involving government partnerships with corporations, and those usually involve giveaways to corporations. But feel free to use it as you like. Good luck with what you're doing.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Yes, Paine proposed something somewhat different than a UBI, but many UBI supporters recognize him as a precursor. I agree that the resource rights are a very important reason for it. A Wealth tax is a very good source of funds as are direct taxes on resources.
You might consider attending events such as the BIEN Congress and the regular UBI-Europe meetings.

Dear professor Karl Widerquist,
I tried to contact you using the e-mail ol the University.
I was given this address. Thus I would like to tell you some things I think interesting:
a) I am very interested in UBI and I consider Thomas Paine to be one of the main precursors.
b) When you a referendum is organized in Switzerland a UBI that is too exaggerated and too uncertain about the economic consequences, that is to say according to the principle of "offering everything that is needed", one can only fail. After what Thomas Paine would say, the UBI would have a determined economic size and not be a kind of social assistance.
In conclusion, UBI is not correctly correlated with Paine's ideas, although BIEN recognizes him as one of the illustrious predecessors .
It is not yet understood that if there is a third way - this is the one sought by Professor Antony Gidens - this necessarily has as a pillar the paradigm shift in the field of property, namely the understanding that people are born free and totally absolute owners of their workforce, equally co-owners of natural resources as work objects, and private owners of the means of work (tools, natural resources transformed by human work)
My contribution to this movement for UBI is that I understand what she yet still does not know well, namely that it is because of the comune ownership of the natural resources that the first and perhaps the most important "child" of the " The third way for the development of the humanity" that follows capitalism or socialism (marxism) and what is so much sought today by the economic world and beyond.
I believe that UBI is not in present on a complete, corect theoretical basis and in fact the theoretical economical and philosophical corect basis are the postulates of the Third way, not the present capitalism and not the comunism. Nor equalizing of opportunity is the basis for universal basic income or probably that is only in moral order, but in an economic way, in a corect economical and social order, the propriety on the natural resources has no any human reason for not be equal.
This idea are writing by me in french in my blog to
http://xxxx.blogspot.ro/2014/08/postulates-of-economics-or-third-way.html where there are and a few sentences and discussion in Romanian
I believe also that “Universal Resource Inheritance” by Daniel Larimer it is very interesting where he essentially makes Thomas Paine’s argument on a worldwide level. As a libertarian you can see his dislike of taxation and welfare, but you can also see his immense dislike of natural resource-based domination. To square these, he suggests a UBI funded by a 5% annual tax on wealth, not based on need, but based on everyone’s rightful inheritance of natural resource wealth redistributed every year over an assumed 100-year lifespan. His main premise is natural inheritance and the challenge of making sure each generation, including those not yet born for thousands of years to come rightfully inherit their share of the Earth.
In my opinion he is so closed to the Third way as I defined.
Yours sincerely
Phd A.
