Prokletstvo dobrih namjera
The curse of modern politics is an epidemic of good intentions and bad outcomes. Policy after policy is chosen and voted on according to whether it means well, not whether it works. And the most frustrated politicians are those who keep trying to sell policies based on their efficacy, rather than their motives. It used to be possible to approach politics as a conversation between adults, and argue for unfashionable but effective medicine. In the 140-character world this is tricky (I speak from experience).
The fact that it was Milton Friedman who said “one of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programmes by their intentions rather than their results” rather proves the point. He was one of the most successful of all economists in getting results in terms of raising living standards, yet is widely despised today by both the left and centre as evil because he did not bother to do much virtue signalling.
The commentator James Bartholomew popularised the term “virtue signalling” for those who posture empathetically but emptily. “Je suis Charlie” (but I won’t show cartoons of the prophet), “Refugees welcome” (but not in my home) or “Ban fossil fuels” (let’s not talk about my private jet). You see it everywhere. The policies unveiled at the Conservative Party conference show that the party is aware of this and (alas) embracing it. On student fees, housing costs and energy bills, the Tories proposed symbolic changes that would do nothing to solve the underlying problem, indeed might make them worse in some cases, but which at least showed they cared. I doubt it worked. They ended up sounding like pale imitations of Labour, or doing political dad-dancing.
---------------
The forgiving of good intentions lies behind the double standard by which we judge totalitarians. Whereas fascists are rightly condemned in schools, newspapers and social media as evil, communists get a much easier ride, despite killing more people. “For all its flaws, the Communist revolution taught Chinese women to dream big,” read a New York Times headline last month.
-----------
Imagine anybody getting away with saying of Mussolini or Franco what John McDonnell and Jeremy Corbyn said of Fidel Castro or Hugo Chávez. The reason for this double standard is the apparently good intentions of communist dictators: unlike Nazis, communists were at least trying to make a workers’ paradise; they just got it wrong. Again and again and again.

Milton Friedman's Cherished Theory Is Laid to Rest
When you’re wrong, you’re wrong, no matter how famous and respected you might be as a scientist.
Friedman’s theory says that people’s consumption isn’t affected by how much they earn day-to-day.
Unfortunately, intuition based on incorrect theories can lead us astray.

Economists Give Up on Milton Friedman's Biggest Idea
https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-07-26/economists-give-up-on-milton-friedman-s-biggest-idea
to što je u krivu i što se empirija ne slaže sa Friedmanom ne znači da treba odbaciti njegovu filozofiju
bitno je nikad ne odustati od ideologije unatoč činjenicama, treba imati vjeru

Ti se ponašaš slično kao i simpatizeri komunizma koji kažu kako bi trebalo još jednom pokušati zato jer je komunizam po njima imao plemenite ciljeve.

Sve.
Čovjek je bio ogledni primjer promašaja.
Problem nastaje kada se teški problemi pokušavaju riješiti pojednostavljenim formulama pri čemu se potpuno ignorira složenost pa i kompliciranost cijele priče.
Tako je probleme moguće samo lakše shvatiti, ali nipošto ne i upravljati kriznim situacijama do kojih prije ili kasnije dolazi, a kamoli ih riješiti.

pa ti još veruješ da je veliku depresiju uzrokovo privatni sektor, iako su se fedovci izravno ispričali miltonu i izravno rekli da su je oni uzrokovali. miltonu ne pakirati.
