The problem with the gifts from the government

If it were to be introduced in the second quarter of 2023 as planned by the federal government, the culture pass would be an offer that nobody could refuse. All young people who will turn 18 in the coming year will receive a credit of 200 euros for attending cultural events, which they can redeem on a digital platform within two years.

According to the maxim that you don't look a gift horse in the mouth, there would actually be nothing wrong with such a free service. But the Kulturpass is not a nice idea from people who have more money than they can spend, but fits into a series of socio-political measures of the past few years, all of which have involved the transformation of a welfare state-supported free market economy into a paternalistic one, based on favours, loyalty and the state foster a gift economy based on supervised care.
