Yes to all you cite and so much more. In-common goods and services are
what the individual AND collective require for survival. As a simple
example take clothing. In-common clothing could be khaki, cotton,
polyester, etc. Un-common clothing could be made of wool, silk, leather,
etc. that is manufactured for profit above and beyond the foundational
income that feeds the manufacturing process. In this manner everyone
becomes vested in the economic process.

Most certainly. Evolution is a good thing. Also, given the fact that
everyone enjoys a foundational income these monies can be used in either
marketplace - in-common or un-common - to justify personal growth.
