I'd heard the phrase 'broken window fallacy' before but never read anything further about it. Interesting stuff.

Kevin, It definitely feels a bit like a 'caring' Ingsoc party of some sort. Although I thank goodness that the political classes here are far too incompetent and bungling to pull anything off like Ingsoc for too long.

It's as if Britain were taken over by an Ingsoc Party made up of the kind of people Orwell described in Road to Wigan Pier: sandal-wearing, juice-drinking teetotalers.

You're probably right about state policy not reflecting conscious, coordinated venality in most cases. An invisible hand mechanism is sufficient to explain it.

Bastiat called this claim the broken window fallacy.
