Good News! There are so many new articles about this topic that after February 2014, links will no longer be updated here. Instead check Basic Income News and the Basic Income Community on Reddit.
Note: Be wary of a "foundation" abusing terms 'basic income' and 'living income' (and publishing the "LIG" newsletter) These terms are being used to attract people to sign up to their multilevel marketing scheme. Read post by Orthelis and an indepth blog critique .
