A few good ones here - another really interesting, current initiative is Bolsa Família, a Brazilian assistance program that functions similarly to a basic income subsidy - the main difference is that it requires families to demonstrate up-to-date immunizations and good school attendance rates for children.

and since it was put in place by the intellectual left, there are tons of papers (most in Portuguese) about it.

the one I'd recommend is an actual book "vozes do bolsa família".

message me if you want more info on this. wife does a phd related to this topic.
