As far as I can tell by looking around my area,

In his Utopia (1516), English statesman and philosopher Thomas More
depicts a society in which every person receives a guaranteed
income.[16] In this book, basic income is proposed as an answer to the
statement "No penalty on earth will stop people from stealing, if it's
their only way of getting food", stating:[17]

    instead of inflicting these horrible punishments, it would be far
more to the point to provide everyone with some means of livelihood,
so that nobody's under the frightful necessity of becoming first a
thief, and then a corpse.
