A trial in India concluded in 2013. Here's a paper (1500 words), a book (200 pages), and a video (one hour).

Rewatched the video shared by @raptortech-js (above): image https://youtu.be/zZEdMVEnr8Y Still highly relevant/recommended even though it's almost 5 years old. 👍

Bloomberg reporter (Kati Pohjanpalo) totally misses the point of UBI in the recent article "Free Money Didn’t Help People Find Jobs, Finland Says" https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-02-08/finland-finds-basic-income-failed-to-boost-employment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19151733 + https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19114834

The point of UBI is to free people from BS Jobs 🙄 and allow them to take creative risks with the "safety-net" of a guaranteed income.
