Wealth is moved from one industry to the one that is being subsidised. Labor and capital are drawn away from profitable industries and toward unprofitable ones.
Wealth production decreases. According to Hazlitt. Producers' revenues rise as a result of subsidies. Low-income consumers can afford necessities thanks to subsidies. Consumers who purchase a good at a reduced Labor benefit from subsidies. A producer will be able to manufacture more goods thanks to a subsidy, which leads to increased consumption. In terms of economics, a subsidy creates a wedge by increasing the price producers earn while decreasing the price consumers pay, incurring a cost for the industries government.
