I can't read the fine article. I've read from economists that the key essay to answer this is "What is Seen and What is Not Seen" by Frederic Bastiat (1840). That introduces the parable of the broken window. Its arguments are reprised in Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt (1946). Are either mentioned in the article?
You can't steelman classical economics without groking these.
