I'M GLAD SOMEBODY CAUGHT THIS. I was away at the National Council on Economic Education's annual conference, this year in Little Rock, Arkansas. The host hotel kindly provided a USA Today to me, and on the letters page one day I found reference to the "broken window" fallacy of economic growth in response to a previous article expecting the hurricane cleanup to stimulate the local economy.

Fortunately, Michael at Knowledge Problem has provided the necessary corrective, and a followup.
