Summary/Abstract: This article is an attempt to identify fiscal and monetary conditions for the implementation of basic income and to consider the expected consequences of the solutions for the world of work. In particular, much attention has been devoted to the latter issue. Considered and critically interpreted as being the three most important arguments of the proponents of basic income are: 1) increase in demand for labour (issue of labour supply), 2) strengthening the power of labour relative to capital, 3) the expected recognition of socially useful activities outside the labour market. In summary, it attempts to answer the question as to whether or not the basic income is a revolutionary postulate.
