What is the free rider problem in the context of interest group organizing? For which types of groups is it a major problem in organizing, and for which groups is it a more minor problem?
What will be an ideal response?
The free rider problem is the tendency of individuals to prefer to rely on the hard work of others to achieve policy benefits they desire instead of paying the cost to produce policy chances themselves. Of course, if everyone takes this attitude, the work of organizing for policy change will never happen. The free rider problem tends to be more problematic for larger, more diffuse interests, and less problematic for smaller, narrower interests.
