At least let no one argue that, because an abuse cannot be suppressed without injuring those who profit from it, the fact that it has existed for a time gives it the right to last forever.
[À moins qu’on ne prétende que, parce qu’un abus ne peut être détruit sans froisser ceux qui en profitent, il suffit qu’il existe un moment pour qu’il doive durer toujours.]Frédéric Bastiat (1801-1850) French philosopher, economist, politician
Economic Sophisms [Sophismes Économiques], 1st Series, ch. 20 “Human Labor, National Labor [Travail Humain, Travail National]” (1845) [tr. Goddard (1964)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/bastiat-frederic/824…

When plunder has become a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.
[Lorsque la Spoliation est devenue le moyen d’existence d’une agglomération d’hommes unis entre eux par le lien social, ils se font bientôt une loi qui la sanctionne, une morale qui la glorifie.]Frédéric Bastiat (1801-1850) French philosopher, economist, politician
Economic Sophisms [Sophismes Économiques], 2nd Series, ch. 1 “Physiology of Plunder [Physiologie de la Spoliation]” (1848) [tr. Goddard (1964)]More info about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/bastiat-frederic/395…

"Oui, nous en convenons, nos adversaires dans la discussion ont sur nous un avantage signalé. Ils peuvent en quelques mots exposer une vérité incomplète ; et, pour montrer qu’elle est _incomplète_, il nous faut de longues et arides dissertations."
~ Frédéric Bastiat, in "Sophismes économiques" (1845)

"We must confess that our adversaries have a marked advantage over us in the discussion. In very few words they can announce a half-truth; and in order to demonstrate that it is incomplete, we are obliged to have recourse to long and dry dissertations."
— Frédéric Bastiat, Economic Sophisms, First Series (1845)

@ajsadauskas @barubary The fallacy was identified over 170 years ago by #economist Frédéric #Bastiat as “the parable of the broken window” in “That Which is Seen, and That Which is Not Seen”: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Essays_on_Political_Economy/That_Which_Is_Seen,_and_That_Which_Is_Not_Seen#The_Broken_Window
Henry #Hazlitt expanded on this in his classic “#Economics in One Lesson” (1946), a fantastic and easily-digestible book that traces the long-term consequences of common economic beliefs. You can download it for free: https://fee.org/resources/economics-in-one-lesson/
