Interesting article on a natural experiment with a Universal Basic Income, w/ pointers to academic literature: https://www.wired.com/story/free-money-the-surprising-effects-of-a-basic-income-supplied-by-government/ … Much UBI discussion is based on speculative theorizing. It's nice to instead see a whole lot of facts from a case study
It does bug me a little that the author doesn't seem to have dug down much into negative effects. Still, much better than 90+% of what I see in popular discussion about UBI.
