The Broken Window Fallacy

It is a prevalent theory. A hooligan brokes local bakery's window, and everything happens. Some economists support that the that the broken window fallacy helps the economy to grow up. It might be true, but there is a problem that if we accept it rightly, then we have to condone when we understand that some stronger countries attack some weaker countries to create a new market. There are a few stages.  1- attack somewhere 2- destroy everything there 3- declare a ceasefire 4- make an agreement  5- improve a country's economy 6- send some companies there to develop the country again 7- start from the beginning Capitalism gets the world to participate in new world order to make more money for capitalists.

The first time the purpose was to raise the inflation rate significantly in the market before falling under minus because the interest rate shows consumer perception which means if consumer perception demonstrates the central banks that consumer  behaviors  change for nonconsumption, then central banks start printing money for stopping decayed inflation rates. In 2008, a lot of central banks overprinted money again and again. The printing money leaked in developing countries as an investment. It is a fundamental economic theory in macroeconomics. If the interest rate is low to get credit, then people take some loans from banks to invest in countries, which offers the highest interest r...
