At least for countries like Finland, an experiment remains an experiment.
In the USA, the program, once started, will never die.
Finland ran a two-year experiment on guaranteed income and chose a random sample of unemployed people with which to conduct.
Europe’s first national government-backed experiment in giving citizens free cash will end next year after Finland decided not to extend its widely publicised basic income trial and to explore alternative welfare schemes instead.
Since January 2017, a random sample of 2,000 unemployed people aged 25 to 58 have been paid a monthly €560 (£475) , with no requirement to seek or accept employment. Any recipients who took a job continued to receive the same amount.
