Neolib,
Forget your parable's details, I supplied another.
I already answered that. There's a difference between recreation and vandalism.

If breaking windows were indeed a spectator sport, then there would be recreational value in manufacturing windows that are made to be broken.
You need to look at what happens all over in China. They build a nice building, and two years later smash it to build something else.
And you would defend that practice on the notion that it "contributes to the economy"?

How about building the South China Mall outside of Guangzhou? It's a living ghost town (see the PBS documentary here), but so-called "Keynesians" would defend such projects on the basis of "creating jobs."

China is building one of the worst bubbles of artificial economic activity, and it's going to collapse big time.
