About unemployment, crisis and BIG

I have finished writing this article late at night and I was tired thus I am posting this article today.


So due to the economic crisis which has hit us in 2007 we have been left with extremely high unemployment. For example in Spain - where I live - the number of unemployed people has reached some 26% in 2013. It has been almost 6 years since the beginning of the crash in the world economies and we are still at the point where we have very high unemployment. And it is obvious that as long as people have no jobs and no income they will not be able to spent money in the shops and as a result of it the economies will not be able to recover. As a matter of fact this element will not only stop the recovery but it even places a high probably danger that we enter into the next crisis ( or rather triple or even quadruple dip crisis ), which may even be stronger and longer lasting than the first dip.

Thus what are we going to do with all of these people especially because at some point their unemployment benefits will come to the end ?

One thing is for sure that leaving these people without any help will increase their desperation and in that desperation they will do many things which will only further create more chaos - crime, violence, violent demonstration etc. And we should not judge these people for doing it because quite often they have no other choice. We all know it that no matter how good and honest a person is, in the moment when the person is pushed to the edge of survival s/he will do many things which can be very harmful and lethal not only for them but also for others. And thus based on this factor we can somehow predict the near future of humanity which is going to deal with increased crime, violence and high possibility of war.

Thus to avoid these kind of situations the governments will have to do something about securing the basic surviving needs of those who have no means to support themselves because of lack of income. And the perfect way to deal with this problem would be introduction of the Basic Income Guaranteed. This would not only help the people who are struggling to survive but it would also at the same time help with the crisis because automatically the spending of the people would increase and give the stimulus for the economies around the whole world.

But at the same time we don't have to give people money completely for free. There is more than plenty of work for everybody on earth e.g. cleaning the rubbish which pollutes the nature, we need plant more trees and we need to do much more.

BIG is easy, simple and genius...
