(2001), "Negative Income Tax", Henderson, David R., ed., The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics, Library of Economics and Liberty, Liberty Fund; at: http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/NegativeIncomeTax.html A largely critical evaluation. Brittan, Sam & Webb, Steven, Beyond the Welfare State: An Examination of Basic Incomes in a Market Economy, David Hume Institute & Aberdeen University Press, 1990. A detailed outline of the "negative income tax" (a guaranteed basic income) proposals first advocated by Milton Friedman. Browning, Edgar K., Redistribution and the Welfare System, American Enterprise Institute, Washington, DC, 1975. Advocates the basic income approach.

A Conservative MP (or rather his ghost writer) endorses the Friedman/Brittan proposals for a basic income.
