Abstract
This chapter briefly discusses some of the now ongoing Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiments, proposed UBI experiments, and experiments in policies similar to UBI. The book references these experiments only rarely, because its goal is not to analyze or criticize them, but to offer some useful analysis to the people commissioning, designing, conducting, reporting on, and reading about them.
