In A Town without Poverty?, The Dominion offers a summary from a preliminary study of an period of four or five years in Dauphin, Manitoba during the early 1970s in which people in the town were guaranteed a minimum income (mincome). Apparently the results were favorable...from a health and wellbeing perspective. It's unclear if the program saved money or not, but it apparently reduced hospitalization and improved the lives of many.

Interesting.

In virtual, there are no way to substantially improve our quality of lives; within budget limitation, lack confidence of poor people, and periodical economic crisis.

But in actual, we can find many alternatives in our history, which we have easily forgotten or prohibited.

History is not an absolute terminology, it is but relatives.

We do consider it in actual term.
