According to Malcolm Gladwell in his book, The Tipping Point, "Broken Windows was the brainchild of the criminologists James Q. Wilson and George Kelling. Wilson and Kelling argued that crime is the inevitable result of disorder. If a window is broken and left unrepaired, people walking by will conclude that no one cares and no one is in charge. Soon, more windows will be broken, and the sense of anarchy will spread from the building to the street on which it faces, sending a signal that anything goes."

Would Keynesian or Classical economists be more likely to emphasize the fallacy of composition?

Keynesian economists would be more likely to emphasize the fallacy of composition. This fallacy occurs when what is true for an individual or a part is incorrectly assumed to be true for the whole, which is a key concern in Keynesian theory. Keynesians focus on how individual actions, such as increased saving during a downturn, can lead to overall economic decline, contradicting the idea that what is good for one is good for all. In contrast, Classical economists generally assume that markets are self-correcting and do not emphasize this fallacy as much.


What fallacy is because your product is the best it is worth the high price?

The fallacy in claiming that a product's high price is justified solely because it is the best is known as the "appeal to quality" fallacy. This reasoning suggests that high quality inherently warrants a high price without considering other factors like market demand, competition, or consumer value perception. It overlooks the possibility that consumers may not agree that the product's quality justifies its cost, making the argument flawed.
