(Friedman, among other things, supported a version of guaranteed basic income. To which today’s GOP mainstream would probably say, “but if we do that, it will just make poor people even lazier!”)
He supported a large negative income tax for those on the lowest (earned) incomes, tapering off to zero, then positive as earned income increased. This is really very far from a guaranteed basic income.
