From the text: . . . Utrecht has applied to the Dutch central government to conduct a welfare experiment called "See What Works."

»Wenn jemand mehr vom Kuchen haben möchte, dann machen wir ihn einfach größer« – nach dieser Strategie funktionierte bisher unser Sozialstaat. Soziale Sicherheit war damit immer abhängig vom Wachstum. Doch die Praxis »Unten geben, ohne oben zu nehmen« kommt angesichts der Übernutzung natürlicher Ressourcen an ihr Ende. Und es leidet nicht nur die äußere, sondern auch die innere Natur des Mensch...
