=== Other proposals === Several philosophers and economists connect [[left-libertarian]] ideas with support for UBI. Of these, the most closely related theory to [[Georgism]] calls for a citizen's dividend—that is, a UBI equal to the monetary rental value of natural resources and socially created wealth. Writers advocating citizen's dividends include [[Peter Barnes (entrepreneur)|Peter Barnes]] (author of ''With Liberty and Dividends for All''), economist Nic Tideman and activist Jeff Smith.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Wealth and Want: Citizen Dividends|url=http://www.wealthandwant.com/themes/Citizen_Dividends.html|access-date=29 December 2020|website=www.wealthandwant.com}}</ref> Barnes proposes setting up a public "Sky Trust" to manage the funds creating from taxing pollution, greenhouse gases and other actions that deplete the value of shared natural resources.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Barnes|first=Peter|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=MGWEAwAAQBAJ|title=With Liberty and Dividends for All: How to Save Our Middle Class When Jobs Don't Pay Enough|date=4 August 2014|publisher=Berrett-Koehler Publishers|isbn=978-1-62656-216-5|language=en}}</ref> Other theorists use left-libertarian insights without strictly connecting the monetary value of resource value with the level of UBI. [[Philippe Van Parijs]] makes a freedom-based argument for the highest sustainable UBI regardless of the value of natural resources, justified partly on the basis that the labor market is imperfectly competitive and produces a significant amount of "job rents."<ref>{{Cite book|last=Parijs|first=Philippe van|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=a46FAAAAMAAJ|title=Real Freedom for All: What (if Anything) Can Justify Capitalism?|date=1995|publisher=Clarendon Press|isbn=978-0-19-827905-1|language=en}}</ref> [[Guy Standing (economist)|Guy Standing]] uses many left-libertarian or "[Thomas] Painist" arguments for UBI,<ref>{{Cite book|last=Standing|first=Guy|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5iyFDwAAQBAJ&q=plunder+of+the+commons|title=Plunder of the Commons: A Manifesto for Sharing Public Wealth|date=29 August 2019|publisher=Penguin UK|isbn=978-0-241-39633-9|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|last=Standing|first=Guy|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qgX1DAAAQBAJ&q=the+corruption+of+capitalism|title=The Corruption of Capitalism: Why rentiers thrive and work does not pay|date=14 July 2016|publisher=Biteback Publishing|isbn=978-1-78590-111-9|language=en}}</ref> along with [[Progressivism|progressive]] and [[social-democratic]] arguments for UBI without committing to resource- or rent-based financing of UBI.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Standing|first=Guy|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oeEzDQAAQBAJ&q=guy+standing|title=The Precariat: The New Dangerous Class|date=20 October 2016|publisher=Bloomsbury Publishing|isbn=978-1-4742-9417-1|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|last=Standing|first=Guy|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=s70zWz00aP4C&q=guy+standing|title=Work After Globalization: Building Occupational Citizenship|date=1 January 2010|publisher=Edward Elgar Publishing|isbn=978-1-84980-237-6|language=en}}</ref> To reduce [[economic inequality]] to levels he considers more advantageous, [[Steven Pearlstein]] proposes a $3000 per year dividend for Americans completing [[K-12 education]], with a requirement to at some point perform three years of [[public service]] (or, alternatively, [[profit sharing]]).<ref>{{cite book |title=Can American Capitalism Survive?: Why Greed Is Not Good, Opportunity Is Not Equal, and Fairness Won't Make Us Poor |author=Steven Pearlstein |publisher=St. Martin's Press |year=2018 |isbn=978-1250185983}}</ref>
