SYNOPSIS

What would you do if your income were taken care of? Just a few years ago, an unconditional basic income was considered a pipe dream. Today, this utopia is more imaginable than ever before - intense discussions are taking place in all political and scientific camps. FREE LUNCH SOCIETY provides background information about this idea and searches for explanations, possibilities and experiences regarding its implementation.

QUOTES

»The film has the potential to challenge people’s stances and get them to consider an unconditional basic income!« – KLAUS KOFLER, FUTUROLOGIST

»A film that today has already documented the world of tomorrow.« – MICHAEL BOHMEYER, GRUNDEINKOMMEN.DE

»It is conceivable that people will cease to do all activities that can be calculated and described. But whether it becomes a social drama or a success story is still open. The biggest risk I see is us sleeping through the opportunities and new challenges that arise as a result of digitalisation or using them to the disadvantage of people. The greatest opportunity I see is that through digitalisation we realise that in the future there will be no need for hard work and obedience. I think in terms of raising children - in fact in terms of everything we do - we would be well advised to cultivate and foster the coming virtues. The new virtues also include perceptiveness: being able to perceive impartially and precisely.« – DANIEL HÄNI, INITIATIVE GRUNDEINKOMMEN
