Universal basic income (UBI) is a governmental public program for a periodic payment delivered to all citizens of a given population without a means test or work requirement. If the level is sufficient to meet a person’s basic needs (i.e., at or above the poverty line) it is sometimes called a full basic income. If it is less than that amount, it may be called a partial basic income.
The general idea that the government should give every citizen money with no strings attached has been around since the 16th century. But lately, it has experienced a remarkable resurgence with advocates ranging from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to libertarian economist Milton Friedman.
