The Broken Window Fallacy


Students, get a full week of this at a summer seminar: lrnlbty.co Does destruction create jobs? After natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and wars, some people argue that these disasters are good for the economy, because they create jobs and prosperity. As Prof. Art Carden of Rhodes College explains, this is an example of the "broken window fallacy," a term coined by Frederic Bastiat. When a shopkeeper's window is broken, he will spend money on a new window, which gives income and jobs for glaziers. This activity is "seen," but the "unseen" is just as important: the money spend on a new window could have been spent on other things. Wealth has not increase, but only reallocated from some people to others, and society is worse off by one window. Watch more videos: lrnlbty.co

The Ad Hominem Fallacy


www.criticalthinkeracademy.com This is a sample video in a video tutorial series on fallacies, which you can find at www.criticalthinkeracademy.com. You can find the full series at the link above. One thing to remember about the ad hominem is that merely insulting someone doesn't make you guilty of this fallacy. Saying "you're an idiot" may be rude, but it doesn't commit a fallacy unless the implication is that we should reject your argument because you're an idiot, and only because you're an idiot. And even then there can be exceptions (see the video).

The Most Persistent Economic Fallacy of All Time!


From a lecture given by Dr. Milton Friedman in Erie, Pennsylvania (1978). This is essentially a restatement of the "parable of the broken window." This fallacy has been known since at least 1850 when French theorist Frédéric Bastiat published a pamphlet entitled, "That Which is Seen and That Which is Not Seen." You can read it here: bastiat.org It was popularized in 1946 by economist Henry Hazlitt in an important book called, "Economics in One Lesson." According to economist Walter Block, the book was instrumental in converting him from communism to capitalism. (Incidentally, Block's book "Defending the Undefendable" was instrumental in converting John Stossel to libertarianism.) It can be downloaded for free from the Foundation for Economic Education here: www.fee.org Download "Defending the Undefendable" by Walter Block here: mises.org John Stossel has a nice little video of this fallacy under the guise of so-called "green jobs." Watch it here: www.youtube.com Stossel also has a great article about this fallacy under yet another guise known as "Cash for Clunkers." Read it here: www.realclearpolitics.com From The Boston Globe (1 Sep. 10): "...the supply of used cars is artificially low, because your Uncle Sam decided last year to destroy hundreds of thousands of perfectly good automobiles as part of its hare-brained Car Allowance Rebate System — or, as most of us called it, Cash for Clunkers. That was the program under which the government paid consumers up to $4500 when <b>...</b>

Disastrous Economic Fallacies - Terror as Stimulus?


Do natural disasters, earthquakes, or wars stimulate an economy and create growth? Did World War 2 get the US out of the Great Depression? Frederic Bastiat explained why such thinking is fallacious.

Clip from ABC's 20/20 blogs.abcnews.com Politicians keep telling us they want to create Green jobs. It sounds good, but its nonsense. I have a new video column up on my webpage on that. The bottom line: If green jobs are a good idea, they will just happen. The give and take of free market competition will provide them. We wont need government to suck up more of our tax dollars to create them. Whatever Green jobs really are. More at www.theminorityreportblog.com

HOME CHEST WORKOUT MYTHS - The Chest Fly Fallacy!


Remove the Myths From Your Chest Workout: athleanx.com There are so many home chest workouts to pick from but unfortunately, there are just as many myths and poor chest exercises choices found in them. Perhaps there is no greater chest workout myth than the value of the chest fly or pec fly exercise. People will rely on this chest exercise as a staple of their chest workout but in doing so...are making a big mistake. The problem with the dumbbell fly is that it is supposed to give you an advantage of normal bench presses and pushups for developing your chest by incorporating an extra stretch on your pecs. In reality, the only muscle that you're stretching is your coracobrachialis and NOT your pectoralis muscle, making this point a moot one. At the same time, this chest workout myth serves to push you in the direction of performing an exercise that is actually quick to compromise the health of your shoulder joint and leave you with a chest muscle injury. Stop doing exercises that either don't work or put you at risk for injury. Instead, put the science back in your strength training routine with The ATHLEAN-X Training System. Get celebrity pro athlete trainer Jeff Cavaliere's 90 day workout plan at http and see how training like a pro athlete can have you looking like one not too long from now.
