What if the most dangerous prison ever built has no walls, no guards, and comes with a guaranteed income? Musk's Universal High Income proposal isn't a safety net but it's the final move in a game where "the technology oligarch who proposes UHI is not a philanthropist; he is the architect of a closed loop."

What follows is an indictment of one of the most destructive fiscal policies in modern European history and a defiant blueprint for how free people can build their way out of it.
