They argue that a guaranteed cash payment to all citizens may be necessary to protect workers from technological disruption and ensure that the benefits of innovation are shared broadly. While these modern proponents have brought renewed attention to the idea, the intellectual foundations of UBI were laid by economists, philosophers, and civil rights leaders over the course of more than two centuries.
