Flypaper Theory


Listen Later

The flypaper theory is a concept in economics and public finance that suggests government spending tends to stick to the intended target or area, similar to how flies stick to flypaper. According to this theory, funds allocated for specific purposes or programs tend to remain in the designated area rather than dispersing more broadly.


Sometimes, it's better to let a problem stay in one place

rather than spread. Flypaper Theory is about containment by attraction. 🪤🕸️
