Algae Capitalism calls for the reform of the modern welfare state. The problem is this: If you deem anyone below a certain line of wealth eligible for welfare, for some people only slightly below the line, moving above it is a bad financial decision. They lose their welfare and have a net loss of money. The best alternative would be a UBI, but very few countries can afford that. Algae Capitalism is an advocate of the "Food Dividend".

The Food Dividend
The government gives each citizen enough money to cover the cost of food each month. However, it is not compulsory to spend it on food. One way or another, it free up that much of the citizen's income to spend elsewhere.
