Cocktail
The money we distribute: what changes in priorities, audiences and goals?
The question of how much money is distributed occupies social work, economics and politics in quite distinctive ways.
From a social point of view, there are questions about the fairness of the distribution (the salary of a civil servant compared to the social assistance of a single mother), about control or about the dignity of the beneficiaries (the elements to justify a scholarship or an apprenticeship versus the payment of a second-pillar pension to a retired person), or about a diversified but complex system of aid or rather a universal income.
From an economic point of view, distributing money to the population can be seen as a solution to maintain consumption and thus keep the economy going.
From a political point of view, budgeting means setting priorities between sectors such as military performance, economic development, social security or symbolic policy.
