The Basic Income Earth Network was founded in 1986 as the Basic Income European Network. It expanded its scope from Europe to the Earth in 2004. It serves as a link between individuals and groups committed to or interested in basic income, and fosters informed discussion on this topic throughout the world.
The present NewsFlash has been prepared with the help of Paul Nollen, Jean-Paul Brasseur, David Casassas, Jurgen De Wispelaere, Joerg Drescher, Sandro Gobetti, Dirk Jacobi, Philippe Van Parijs, Karl Widerquist, and Thérèse Davio.
