白芝浩（Bagehot）的《英国宪法》（The English Constitution）可以在 gutenberg.org（以及其他地方）免费在线阅读。它对政府的“高效运作部分”（efficient）和“尊严象征部分”（ceremonial）做了非常实用的区分。在写这本书的时候，上议院……

…United States has remained largely constant from the Bush Administration to the Obama Administration. This continuity can be explained by the “double government” theory of 19th-century scholar of the English Constitution Walter Bagehot. As applied to the United States, Bagehot’s theory suggests that U.S. national security policy is defined by the network of executive officials who manage the departments and agencies responsible…
…personification of the nation (“India is Indira and Indira is India”). That cannot happen in the UK because the PM is merely a temporary caretaker appointed by the monarch. The symbolism matters. Source: The English Constitution by Walter Bagehot (1867)

UBI reminds me of Bagehot's statement on the English Constitution being split into two parts: the dignified and the efficient. It's also useful to think about the economy as being divided in two halves: one that keeps people alive by making available basics like food…
As Walter Bagehot wrote in The English Constitution: "An ancient and ever-altering constitution is like an old man who still wears with attached fondness clothes in the fashion of his youth: what you see of him is the same; what you do not see is wholly…

……从布什政府到奥巴马政府，美国政策在很大程度上保持了一致。这种连续性可以用 19 世纪研究英国宪法的学者沃尔特·白芝浩（Walter Bagehot）的“双重政府”（double government）理论来解释。将该理论套用到美国身上，白芝浩的理论表明，美国国家安全政策是由管理相关部门和机构的行政官员网络所决定的……

……国家的化身（“英迪拉就是印度，印度就是英迪拉”）。这在英国是不可能发生的，因为首相不过是由君主任命的临时看守人。这种象征意义至关重要。出处：沃尔特·白芝浩《英国宪法》（1867 年）

UBI（全民基本收入）让我想起白芝浩关于英国宪法分为两部分的论述：尊严象征部分（dignified）和高效运作部分（efficient）。把经济也看成两半同样很有用：一半是通过提供食物等生活必需品来维持人们生存……

正如沃尔特·白芝浩在《英国宪法》中所写的那样：“一部古老而又在不断变迁的宪法，就像一个依然深情地穿着年轻时流行服装的老人：你所看到的外表依然如故；而你所看不到的内里却已完全……”
