While what's good for a tiny island might not be good for the gander, I like the attached cost analysis of a negative income tax. The author points out that this might be a more practical way to deliver a basic income, and more amenable to both sides of the argument.

And at more or less no greater cost than the welfare system at time of writing. I wonder how the numbers would shake out now?
