Imagine a millionaire, which went through towns breaking windows for fun (he likes the noise and throwing rocks) or art (broken windows make nice reflections on sidewalk) and payed for every broken window. Is this not destroying value?
- GFischer 8y agoYes, but there's an upper bound on how much value he can destroy that way. There are other ways they can destroy more value, of course...
- southerndrift 8y agoYou also destroy value if you throw away your trash with all those nice boxes and bottles. The value is not in the objects but in the production knowledge. Increasing the demand for glass will improve production and drive down costs for everybody in the long run. Breaking windows is only taxing on society if there is full employment and there are not enough people to do all available tasks.
