Abstract

Van Parijs (1995) with basic income and Kolm (2005) with ELIE transfers have both revisited the ethical foundations and the redistributive patterns of the tax system. Despite being formally close, both propositions diverge because the financing of basic income is not really guaranteed and the treatment by ELIE transfers of "eccentric productive people" who choose not to work is not obvious. Both projects remain nevertheless compatible: from a philosohical point of view, Van Parijs tries to equalise individuals' "external endowments", while Kolm exploits only their "internal endowments"; from an economic point of view, TECIE transfers which would be based on "external endowments" could thus complete ELIE transfers stemmeing from "internal endowments". The first examination of this "hybridisation" provides the framework of our conclusion.
