glazier

And it's not like being a glazier is a person's identity and an inborn destiny, is it?

In both situations, money transfers from the shopkeeper to the glazier, the glazier does some glazing, and the shopkeeper ends up no better off than before.

This is good news in the same way that a broken window is good news to the glazier.

Oof that spreadsheet story is like a glazier breaking windows, quite a way to make yourself indispensable!

So then the math goes like this: because of the broken window, the glazier gains $250 dollars of work today.

The window being broken, the glazier's trade is encouraged to the amount of six francs: this is that which is seen.

While not as extreme as the glazier in the broken window fallacy, the grass cutters/elevator operators exist on the exact same spectrum.

The glazier's gain is the shopowner's loss and so there's no net improvement.

Then the broken window actually results in $250 of created work for the glazier without any corresponding loss of work elsewhere (by e.g.

I would recommend calling a glazier and mounting a sheet of tempered glass on the wall with small stainless standoffs.

After he was demobbed, my father was a glazier = repaired windows.

A professional glazier would order the windows from the factory just as the shop with a fancy website with a configurator did for my order.

We had " Streetname 5, behind the glazier business.

(I'll ignore the glazier example as it seems quite extreme, and also comes with more obvious/specific "victims").

"Maybe the economy will be better off if the glazier has the money because he will spend it better than the butcher whose window was broken." In specific circumstances that can really be true, but in general there is no reason to expect it to be, and unless you somehow know that it is, breaking the window is more likely to cause a net loss than a net gain.

>I'll ignore the glazier example as it seems quite extreme, and also comes with more obvious/specific "victims" The "victims" at the Taj Mahal/department store are the visitors/customers who have to pay slightly higher prices as a result.

Glazier's fallacy blah blah blah more statism blah blah blah remove choice blah blah.

Nevertheless, Glazier's fallacy is tangential, so thank you for posting.
