Real National Income: Milton Friedman used it for his MRTO graphs in Money Mischief. This data is hard to find at FRED, for some reason. The FRED Search, filtered, turns up quarterly and annual datasets for the US (plus one dataset for the UK). ALFRED provides little history. BEA turns up this, which doesn't look useful, and otherwise says only that it includes "both factor incomes and nonfactor charges," and that it "formerly excluded nonfactor charges." It's almost like Friedman doesn't matter at all! The US datasets are titled "Real gross national income":
