Client politics.
When benefits are concentrated on a small, organized group but the costs are spread thinly across many, the concentrated beneficiaries have strong incentives to organize and lobby, while the dispersed payers have little incentive to oppose — producing a client politics outcome (e.g., farm subsidies, certain regulatory favors).
