In other words, it ignores the [[opportunity cost]] of the resources devoted to repairing the damage.<br /> <br /> The parable of the broken window was first described by [[Frédéric Bastiat]] in an 1850 essay where he considered this an illustration of the [[seen versus unseen fallacy]].<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> ===Online articles explaining the parable of the broken window===<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;sortable&quot; border=&quot;1&quot;<br /> !
