The Conservative Case for a Guaranteed Basic Income - The Atlantic

Quote:
In 1962, the libertarian economist Milton Friedman advocated a minimum guaranteed income via a “negative income tax.”

Friedman wanted a Minimum Guaranteed Income in place of a minimum wage. He though it would be less of a distortion on the labor market and yet provide for the poor.
