Canada’s 1970s experiment with a basic income guarantee in a small town in Manitoba is revisited in this article. Though the Mincome pilot program came to an end in 1978 without the impacts of the program receiving much analysis, that changed when Evelyn Forget, professor of health sciences at the University of Manitoba, gained access to the data in 2009.

SUMMARY: This article cites research indicating that even a basic income guarantee of as little as $2,920 a year to every American, whether they are of working age or not, could reduce poverty by as much as 50%, and it would cost about what the US is spending on anti-poverty programs right now.
