The Economics of Street Charity
This article reminded me of having a similar conversation with Dad about street beggars when I was in 9th grade. My health teacher said when she lived in a city, she wouldn't give beggars money because they might spend it on booze, but would instead buy then some food. I thought this was a great idea, and told everyone that night at dinner about it. Dad's response was that the homeless person might need alcohol, not food, so you shouldn't make that decision for them.
