The focus is on the relation between the movements for a „Basic Income“ – and for the „Common-Good-Economy“. It is impossible to compare the operational goals of these movements; neither ECG guarantees social security for everybody, nor does a UBI in itself lead companies to a stronger orientation for the Common Good. But it makes sense to consider both movements from the point of view of their general framework of values. The ECG-framework of values becomes particularly clear through the concept of a “Common Good-Balance”, based on values like “human dignity”, “solidarity”, “ecological sustainability”, “social justice”, “democratic participation” and “transparency”.
