But beyond that, there's also a fundamental economic problem, and that arises because jobs are currently the primary mechanism that distributes income, and therefore purchasing power, to all the consumers that buy the products and services we're producing.

But at the same time, I think we have to be realistic, and we have to realize that we're very likely to face a significant income distribution problem.

And the best, more straightforward way I know to do that is some kind of a guaranteed income or universal basic income.

Now, basic income is becoming a very important idea.

My own view is that a basic income is not a panacea; it's not necessarily a plug-and-play solution, but rather, it's a place to start.

For example, one thing that I have written quite a lot about is the possibility of incorporating explicit incentives into a basic income.

And yet, suppose you know that at some point in the future, no matter what, you're going to get the same basic income as everyone else.

And we can take that idea of building incentives into a basic income, and maybe extend it to other areas.

So by incorporating incentives into a basic income, we might actually improve it, and also, perhaps, take at least a couple of steps towards solving another problem that I think we're quite possibly going to face in the future, and that is, how do we all find meaning and fulfillment, and how do we occupy our time in a world where perhaps there's less demand for traditional work?

I think one of the most fundamental, almost instinctive objections that many of us have to the idea of a basic income, or really to any significant expansion of the safety net, is this fear that we're going to end up with too many people riding in the economic cart, and not enough people pulling that cart.

And so we emphasized things like increasing per capita income in our city, increasing our city's population, and we stuck to those relentlessly, throughout the campaign, always bringing it back to those things by which our voters could measure, in a very transparent way, how we were doing, and hold me accountable if I got elected.

But we're also applying it to things that are not so traditional when you think about what cities are responsible for, things like increasing per capita income, increasing our population, improving our high school graduation rates, and perhaps the greatest challenge that we face as a city.

What we did is actually we looked at countries by income level: low-income, mid-income, high-income.

We looked at what the 25 percent fastest improvers in education do, and what we found out is that if every country moves at the same rate as the fastest improvers within their own income level, then within just one generation we can have every child in school and learning.

So we came up with a solution to help countries escape the middle income trap, countries that are not poor enough or not poor, thankfully, anymore, that cannot profit from grants or interest-free loans, and they're not rich enough to be able to have attractive interests on their loans.

And what we tend to see is a convergence of multiple kinds of risks: income inequality, poverty, youth unemployment, different issues around violence, even exposure to droughts, cyclones and earthquakes.

There are other sources of income for artists, however.

It offers employment and income generation opportunities to the most "unskilled" in conventional disciplines.

Whereas the personal income, on a scale that has been held constant to accommodate for inflation, has more than doubled, almost tripled, in that period.

In 2004, a new company called Vemma Nutrition started offering a life-changing opportunity to earn full time income for part time work.

Promises of large, life-altering amounts of income are also suspect.

That factor was family income.

Now, here, every point you see in color is a point where higher family income was associated with a larger cortical surface area in that spot.

Number one: this link between family income and children's brain structure was strongest at the lowest income levels.

So that means that dollar for dollar, relatively small differences in family income were associated with proportionately greater differences in brain structure among the most disadvantaged families.

Now, the second point I'd like to highlight is that this link between family income and children's brain structure didn't depend on the children's age, it didn't depend on their sex and it didn't depend on their race or ethnicity.

So while growing up in poverty is certainly a risk factor for a smaller brain surface, in no way can I know an individual child's family income and know with any accuracy what that particular child's brain would look like.

But importantly, mothers are being randomized, so some mothers are randomized to receive a nominal monthly cash gift and others are randomized to receive several hundred dollars each month, an amount that we believe is large enough to make a difference in their day-to-day lives, in most cases increasing their monthly income by 20 to 25 percent.

Because while income may not be the only or even the most important factor in determining children's brain development, it may be one that, from a policy perspective, can be easily addressed.

It looked like giving to charity made about the same difference for happiness as having twice as much income.
