It is widely believed that distributing cash to people in poverty is the best way to help them while avoiding paternalism. Heath Henderson pushes back, arguing that a markets-know-best model is itself paternalistic and displaces better interventions. Instead, people in poverty need the democratic power to coordinate solutions for themselves.
