Production is subordinate to consumption. The constraints is accountability, in a market system, competition is the accountability, while in a public service directed system, the accountability is transparency and votes. Money is essentially like votes (ie shop local). So a basic income without condition gives everyone more “votes” for goods and services, and markets will reorganize. The government then only has to focus on anti-trusts, breaking monopolies, fostering competition. One person’s expense is another person’s income.
