Markets in Everything: Foreign Policy Edition
Stephen Payne, who claims to have raised more than $1m for the president's Republican party in recent years, said he would arrange meetings with Dick Cheney, the vice-president, Condoleezza Rice, the secretary of state, and other senior officials in return for a payment of $250,000 (£126,000) towards the library in Texas...
Stephen Payne: "The main thing is that he [the Asian politician] comes, and he's well received, that he meets with high-level people . . . and we send positive statements made back from the administration about 'This guy wasn't such a bad guy, many people have done worse'."
The Fallacy That May Never Die...
From this Sunday's Boston Globe "Ideas" section: Natural Disasters Help
"Natural disasters can give a boost to the countries where they occur - and sometimes, the more the better"
"...When something is destroyed you don't necessarily rebuild the same thing that you had. You might use updated technology, you might do things more efficiently. It bumps you up," says Mark Skidmore, an economics professor at Michigan State University. "Disasters help people think about things differently."
As J. Henderson has remarked:, "Using this logic, the federal government should spur greater growth and technological development by regularly and frequently bulldozing random homes and businesses across the country."
The seminal essay on the subject published in 1850:That Which is Seen, and That Which is Not Seen by Frederic Bastiat.
