The think tank Compass has published a report: Reclaim Modernity: Beyond markets, beyond machines, by Mark Fisher and Jeremy Gilbert. The report advocates a Citizen's Income: 'The only truly democratic objective with regard to the labour market is to reduce individuals’

dependence on it and to encourage participation in it not through compulsory mechanisms but by exerting upward pressure on wage levels. It is worth reflecting that the introduction of a citizens’ income would achieve both of these objectives without the need for further regulation of either workers or employers' (p.24).
