This study deals with five sources of data that may help to answer the question of how labor supply would respond to the introduction of unconditional basic income. Research of lottery winners’ labor supply and the results of field experiments, in which the behavior of households who have received a regular unconditional income for a limited time period was observed and is then investigated and discussed. Results of the laboratory experiment, the estimates of microsimulation models, and the results of the opinion polls are also examined. The surveyed data sources show mainly a slight decline in labor supply. However, none of these data were collected in situations that would fully correspond with the expected conditions of decision-making that would occur with the basic income. Any results derived from them therefore need to be considered with caution.
This paper contains a summary of public support for the idea of unconditional basic income in the Czech Republic in the first part. Interest in unconditional income can be found both in the Czech political sphere and in the social sciences community. In the second part, the article theoretically analyzes the possible sources of unconditional basic income funding. The aim of this paper is to support argumentation in favor of the implementation of BI by a systematic analysis of the real possibilities of its funding through the state tax revenues. The feasibility of funding a BI scheme using taxes on labor, property, consumption, environmental taxes, financial transaction tax, and tax on the transfer of information is considered. Consideration is also given to administrative savings that the basic income system could bring. Due to political enforceability of BI, it is important to contemplate and discuss the distortions and other problems of proposed changes in taxation, which would not be negligible as can be expected.
Abstrakt: Rozsáhlé dílo obsahující celoživotní práci Karla Engliše nejen z oblasti teorie poznání představuje nikdy nevydaný rukopis s názvem Velká logika. Jedním z výsledků snahy o jeho postupnou publikaci je nyní zveřejněný přepis Englišovy studie "Zeleného kritika mé teleologie". Přepis části rukopisu je opatřen autorskými vysvětlujícími a obsah doplňujícími poznámkami. Engliš se musel vypořádávat s kritikou svého teleologického přístupu, jež upřednostňoval v ekonomické vědě, stejně jako musel obhajovat své trojí dělení způsobů myšlení (ontologický, teleologický a normologický). Právě Englišovy obhajoby myšlenkových řádů umožňují vyniknout jeho originalitě v axiologické oblasti.Klíčová slova: teleologický myšlenkový řád, Jindřich Zelený, pojem potřeby.Abstract: An extensive masterpiece containing Karel Engliš's life-long work not only in the field of cognition theory represents an unpublished manuscript called The Great Logic. One of the results of the effort for its gradual publication is now published transcript of Engliš's study "Zeleny's critique of my teleology". The transcript of the part of the manuscript is provided with author's explanatory notes and with additional explaining notes. Engliš had to deal with the critique of his teleological approach, which he preferred in economic science, as he had to defend his three-way division of thought (ontological, teleological and normological). It is precisely Engliš's defense of the order of thought that makes it possible to show its originality in the axiological field.
