WHO PAYS FOR WHEELCHAIRS?

Geoffrey E. Wood

Economic Affairs, 2004, vol. 24, issue 2, 60-61

Abstract: The issue opened up by the ‘Ryanair Case’ is a wide and important one. Interest groups often press for special treatment at the expense of others. People often agree to give it, because they think the group is deserving and because they have not thought through how the service is to be paid for. By making the charging transparent, as Ryanair has done in this case, people will be forced to think about whether the interest group really is deserving, and if they decide that it is, face up to supporting that view with their own money.
