I wonder whether the greatest manifestation of the idea of 'Society' lies in this new National Wage being trialled in Finland. I seem to recall hearing that it's also going to be tested in Ireland at some level. I like the idea very much as it does not prevent those who wish to earn more from doing so, gives a base from which the enterprising might begin to explore new (and before now risky) business ideas, but also protects those unwilling or unable to climb higher.
It has been pointed out that among other glitches yet to be addressed, it takes no account of the much higher benefits required to support some disabled folks
