TL;DR Summary
The two-minute version: the challenge, the mechanism, and why CE outperforms UBI and tariffs.
Citizens' Equity (CE) proposes a sovereign fund, capitalized by mandatory corporate contributions scaled to domestic market participation, that issues one equal, non-transferable share to every citizen. Unlike Universal Basic Income, CE connects citizens to productivity growth automatically, without repeated legislative intervention — transforming citizens from transfer recipients into stakeholders in the economy itself.
