Abstract | This paper investigates the ethical and administrative difficulties linked to freebie-driven governance, a practice where political parties provide financial incentives or welfare schemes to gain voter support. It questions whether these measures are truly aimed at improving social welfare or if they serve as tools for political manipulation. By examining case studies from countries like India, Brazil, and the United States, the research explores the political, economic, and societal impacts of these policies. It evaluates the strain they place on public resources, their potential to undermine democratic processes, and the ethical concerns of using public funds for electoral advantage. The study also addresses the complexities of implementing effective welfare programs while ensuring both sustainability and the immediate needs of society are met. It highlights problems such as corruption, inefficiency, and the misuse of resources that often accompany freebie-driven policies. In conclusion, the paper offers policy suggestions that emphasize the importance of transparency, accountability, and a shift towards more sustainable welfare systems. It calls for a focus on long-term development, citizen empowerment, and ethical governance to protect democratic values and foster equitable social advancement. |
