| - | '''Egalitarianism''' (derived from the [[French language|French]] word '''égal''', meaning ''equal'' or ''level'') is a political doctrine that holds that all people should be treated as equals from birth. Generally it applies to being held equal under the law, the church, and society at large. In actual practice, one may be considered an egalitarian in most areas listed above, even if not subscribing to equality in every possible area of individual difference. For example, one might support equal rights in race matters but not in gender issues, or vice versa. | + | A '''basic income''' (also called '''basic income guarantee''', '''unconditional basic income''', '''universal basic income''', '''universal demogrant''', or '''citizen’s income''') is a proposed system of [[social security]] in which citizens or residents of a country regularly receive a sum of money unconditionally from the government. This is distinct from [[guaranteed minimum income]], which may be conditional upon participation in the labor force or other [[means test]]ing. A basic income of any amount less than the [[Minimum income#Elements|social minimum]] is sometimes referred to as a 'partial basic income'. |

A basic income (also called basic income guarantee, unconditional basic income, universal basic income, universal demogrant, or citizen’s income) is a proposed system of social security in which citizens or residents of a country regularly receive a sum of money unconditionally from the government. This is distinct from guaranteed minimum income, which may be conditional upon participation in the labor force or other means testing. A basic income of any amount less than the social minimum is sometimes referred to as a 'partial basic income'.
Similar proposals for "capital grants provided at the age of majority" date to Thomas Paine's Agrarian Justice of 1795, there paired with asset-based egalitarianism.
