Zelensky's Thousand Grivnas - Ground for a Social Experiment.
The President calls for supporting Ukrainian goods and services
President Zelensky urged Ukrainians to spend money on Ukrainian goods and services. He noted that utility services, electricity, train tickets from Ukrzaliznytsia, and Ukrainian medications are priority expenses that need support. Additionally, the president suggested supporting Ukrainian books and cultural services, as well as making donations for volunteers and the military.
Changes in society and impact on values
In the past year, people have shown more interest in the changes occurring in society. This concerns not only stockpiling food due to fears of a new war but also shifts in attitudes towards property. It has become common to give things to acquaintances to protect them from confiscation. A similar situation was observed in Odesa during the Soviet regime. This indicates that experience can influence a person's values and way of life.
New rules for money circulation
The president proposes to make changes to money circulation, particularly to implement digital currency and a universal basic income. Digital money will be associated with a specific environment and used under regulated rules, allowing for the control of public spending and influencing their decisions. The universal basic income could also contribute to the economic development of the country.
Scenario for using digital money and universal basic income
The implementation of digital money and universal basic income might involve issuing special currency that will only be available in digital form, as well as distributing a monthly amount on virtual cards for citizens. The money could only be used for certain goods and services. This would allow the government to effectively control spending and influence the economic situation.
Risks and prospects
The implementation of digital money and universal basic income carries its risks and questions that require further study and analysis. However, it could have a positive impact on the country's development and improve citizens' lives.
