Quizplus · Accepted Answer

James Q. Wilson posits that when the benefits of a policy are concentrated among a small group while the costs are dispersed across a broad population, client politics is the result. This is because the concentrated benefits motivate the small group to organize and lobby for the policy, while the dispersed costs mean the broader public is less likely to mobilize against it.
