"“Broken windows create jobs.” A boy smashes a shopkeeper’s window and the crowd nods because the glazier gets paid to fix it. Frédéric #Bastiat debunked this in 1850, explaining that the shopkeeper spends the money he would have used on new shoes, for example, so the shoemaker never sees it. Cash moves either way, yet one path leaves the shopkeeper with BOTH A WINDOW AND THE SHOES he actually wanted while the other only restores what he already owned and leaves society WITHOUT THE SHOES. Anyone still pushing this logic is openly arguing that destruction is a growth strategy." #antifa #terrorism #domesticterrorism https://archive.ph/JIobt
