"Economists and policymakers have long struggled to find an equitable solution to the issue of wealth distribution. A new study suggests that a simple trick may hold the key to sharing wealth more evenly: a universal basic income (UBI) paired with a 'pre-distribution' approach, where wealth is redistributed before it even reaches individuals. By implementing a UBI and then using a percentage of that income to fund social services and welfare programs, researchers argue that the wealth gap can be significantly narrowed. But would such a system be feasible and effective in practice, or would it create unintended consequences?"
