An elementary fallacy. Anybody one would think would be able to avoid it after a few moments thought. Yet the broken-window fallacy under a hundred disguises is the most persistent in the history of economics. It is more rampant now than at any time in the past. It is solemnly reaffirmed every day by great captains of industry by chambers of commerce by labor union leaders by editorial writers and newspaper columnists and radio commentators by learned statisticians using the most refined techniques by professors of economics in our best universities. In their various ways they all dilate upon the advantages of destruction. Though some of them would disdain to say that there are net benefits in small acts of destruction they see almost endless benefits in enormous acts of destruction. They tell us how much better off economically we all are in war than in peace. They see miracles of production which it requires a war to achieve. And they see a post-war world made certainly prosperous by an enormous accumulated or backed-up demand. In Europe they joyously count 14 ECONOMICS IN ONE LESSON the houses the whole cities that have been leveled to the ground and that will have to be replaced. In America they count the houses that could not be built during the war the nylon stockings that could not be supplied the worn-out automobiles and tires the obsolescent radios and refrigerators. They bring together formidable totals. It is merely our old friend the broken-window fallacy in new clothing and grown fat beyond recognition.

But need is not demand. Effective economic demand requires not merely need but corresponding purchasing power. The needs of China today are incomparably greater than the needs of .
