    7:21 that does not follow from that. following from that logic would be to continuesly employ ppl in areas where we are pretty certain that the produced commodity will be used in the future (railways, houses, even pencils). creating (potential) prosperity for the future while circulating the money and strenghening the economy. this is also perfectly in line with what keynesian economics or the MMT would prescribe BUT would obviously lend itself even more to a planned economy

I had a hard time defending the "policy" I created until a friend of mine who majored in Political Economy fixed everything that was wrong and lacking in my policy. Now I want to study PE too.

    A fair question is whether the stock market is governed by any fundamentals other than the greater fool theory. Is is not amazing that people purchase shares of stock in companies that do not distribute dividends to shareholders out of profits. How is it that the corporate executives receives huge bonuses when companies are experiencing losses and, often, declining "market" value of the company's shares of stock.

I will research more but I disagree with and don’t understand why you would say consumers don’t want competition. I think they want fair , not abusive, practices.....EDIT ... I watched again and think you say PRODUCERS don't want competition? Anyone feel free to correct me.

    This was very informative as a first year polisci student, but the point about Keynesian economic theory being a manifestation of the broken window fallacy doesn't make total sense to me. The way I understand it, Keynesian theory is a framework to respond to crisis, not necessarily a vehicle to create crisis to drive responses. Is the lecturer insinuating that Keynesian theory encourages crisis to trigger government response? Because I would argue that doesn't fit the broader Keynesian philosophy, which just states that government intervention in the economy should be malleable based on current circumstances.

    The Fifth Element. Yes, that silly action movie. It's actually a very, very well done movie but that's besides the point. There is a scene in which the antagonist makes the broken window parable, albeit with a broken highball glass cup. Evil is often the foolishness you do when you look too closely, and do not see what is around you.

  • @_VISION.

    8:10 hasn't he just proven that it doesn't matter if the window is broken or not? Nonetheless, the shopkeeper is going to be spending money which creates income opportunity to the person receiving the payment. I must have missed something here. At the end he made it seem like the second scenario is better than the first, when there is no difference from my perspective.

    • @paytonwood600
      @paytonwood600 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I thought the same thing! They seem to cancel one another out because either way, money is spent and jobs are created. The only benefit to the second scenario is that the shopkeeper doesn’t have to deal with the stress of a broken window.
      Then again, destruction is never a good thing, so it does make sense what the man in the video was saying. You can still spend money and create jobs without breaking the window.

      The plus or minus the window is the difference. Without the broken window, there is no need to fix it, therefore saving the individual the time and resources to replace it. This allows those funds to be allocated elsewhere.
