Universal Basic Services discussed at length by @moorehl and @jdportes on @Ed_Milliband “Reasons to be Cheerful” podcast : https://www.acast.com/reasonstobecheerful/episode38.universalbasicservices-shapingthe21stcenturywelfarestate

Focusing on basic services, such as housing, food, communications and transport, is, we conclude, far more effective at driving down the cost of living than spending the same money on existing services, or on redistribution.
