Unconditional handouts benefit recipients and their neighbours: study
“Unconditional” is a nice euphemism for “free”. There is no such thing as a free handout (and, thusly, an unconditional handout), unless it’s coming in the form of manna from heaven.<p>In these limited studies that don’t affect the inflation rate or the greater macroeconomic picture, there appears to be no conditions, especially none imposed on the recipients.<p>If you expand a study like this, in your mind, to include e.g., the entire population of America, you don’t need to be a PhD economist to see that there are certainly conditions involved.
