5:34Now PlayingIn Finland, two thousand unemployed people are part of an experiment that could shape the future of the West. For the next two years, the government will give them the equivalent of 660 dollars a month — for free, no strings attached. It's an idea called Universal Income and it's got a lot of politicians and economists excited, and others worried about creating a society of freeloaders.
