It might seem far fetched right at the moment but some thinkers and economists are already seeing a guaranteed basic income for EU countries during the next decades which in time should extend to the rest of the 1st world countries.

I know it looks a bit crazy now, but so did free universal healthcare 40 years ago if you think about it.
