There are multiple [universal basic income experiments currently running in blockchains](https://collective.flashbots.net/t/bookmarks-relevant-for-universal-basic-income-researchers/2199). For this month’s study circle I want us to explore the necessity for this kind of redistribution and it’s effectiveness, perhaps as a complement to retroactive public goods funding.
