It's an advanced idea that i suppose the capitalist world is not ready to embrace, but i see it happening in advanced societies. Pretty much it's how the Star trek earth society is portrayed aswell. Famine wouldn't be an issue and people would strive to better themselves.
Obviously, it would make employers lose the power of abuse, so they will always be opposed to it.

It's good to see ideas beeing thrown around though.

It is an idea proposed by those who support free-markets as a way to replace welfare and minimum wages (see Milton Friedman and the negative income tax.) There are fewer market distortions and more efficiency by doing this versus welfare or minimum wages.
