The window guy is now a few hundred dollars to the good, and after all, it's March Madness, so he rushes to the appliance store to buy a flat-panel TV.
The appliance salesman had been wondering how he was going to pay for his daughter's college tuition, but no more. With the few hundred bucks he received from the window guy, his daughter is free to take that econ class she's always wanted.
The econ professor has been needing some new suede patches on the elbows of his sportcoats, so he takes the appliance guy's money and . . . well, you get the picture by now. Just look at all of the economic activity, all of the income, that has been created by that broken window.
Aren't we lucky that window got broken?
And if breaking windows makes a society rich, then maybe we should hire those young punks to go out and break some more.
The town in the photo above is surely very wealthy.

Heh. I love how the Google ads after this entry are all for replacement windows!
And can't we bypass the hooligan behavior and just start the chain by everyone buying a flat-screen tv?!
