The Seven Pillars Institute (SPI) for Global Finance and Ethics–an independent, nonpartisan think tank headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri–has published a two-part introduction to the idea of basic income:

Part 1 – “Ethics of Universal Basic Income” by Victoria Tse (October 18, 2016).

Part 2 – “Universal Basic Income: Empirical Studies” by Abhishek Roy (October 31, 2016).

SPI states that its mission is to “highlight and analyze issues of moral philosophy in global financial markets with a view to enhancing ethical practice and policy.”

In November 2016, SPI was shortlisted for a Prospect Magazine think tank of the year award in the “US Energy and Environment” category, especially for its work on eco-tourism.
