On: Parable of the Broken Window

[karmakurtisaani]

Another example: imagine a large company is exploiting a population in a country, paying poor wages, taking natural resources and avoiding taxes. A broken window is an opportunity for the local window installers to benefit from the company. Globally it is bad for the economy, but good locally.

Or that the offices of the large company are destroyed.

It might even be much better for the world economy, long-term.
