Generosity
"People like to be generous. They just don't like to be generous with their own money. They prefer to be generous with other people's money."
This is a remark, which I hope I have remembered pretty accurately, made to me by Professor Meir Kohn of Dartmouth University in America. I can't remember whether he was offering an explanation of why politicians like to spend or why electors vote for political parties that spend. The comment probably applies to both.
