Very good post. You could make the case that the “broken-window principle” is a fallacy at a small scale but may be legitimate at a larger scale when national monetary policy is changed to fix the “broken window.”

The broken glass meme is nonsense. Although some economists say the Depression was not ended by WWII, it seems to me it was. Does broken glass work on a huge scale?

Not legitimate at any scale under honest accounting. The value lost is not accounted for, while the value “created” is. Done.
