Translation:
First of all, good morning.Interesting the opinions of the interviewee, regarding the conception of Universal Income, their approach is didactic, however, to deal with the subject with a global approach, tends to make generalizations that do not characterize some models of Rentas. The subject of income has been the subject of study, from the classics of the Economy such as Ricardo, Smith and Marx, and the Venezuelan case and its rentier dependence have been studied in depth by authors such as Francisco Mieres, Bernard Mommer, Luis Pedro España, but above all, the academic Asdrubal Baptista Troconis. Together with the colleague Cesar Burelli Valero, we have some works (some unpublished) related to the effects of the Rentismo in Venezuela, which could have some utility in the discussion of the subject.
