Onamazu, the great catfish of myth and legend that helps the poor by creating earthquakes and stimulating reconstruction in true Keynesian-Krugman Broken Windows Fallacy fashion…
Stories about the giant catfish may be fun, but you can shatter this often repeated economic myth here:
Destruction does not create more wealth, only savings, investment, and increased production can do that. Even a moment's reflection reveals this.
The temporary stimulus and redistribution following a destructive event soon dry up to reveal a net loss to society that now has to catch up just to return to where it was before the disaster.
