ELI5 Mode🧒

A subsidy is a financial contribution provided by a government or organization to support specific activities, industries, or individuals, often to lower costs and promote economic or social goals. In modern contexts, it can influence market dynamics, spark debates on fairness, and play a key role in policies like green energy transitions, though it sometimes leads to dependency or inefficiencies.
