This article uses the term “guaranteed minimum income” for the first of its ten ways to get serious about inequality, and it mentions John Kenneth Galbraith’s and Milton Friedman’s endorsement of the idea. But in its elaboration it talks only about expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit. It never elaborates what common definition of a guaranteed minimum income is, leaving it unclear whether the author recommends guaranteeing a minimum income to all Americans.
