Quote by Emmeline Pankhurst

The argument of the broken window pane is the most valuable argument in modern politics.

The argument of the broken window pane is the most valuable

Summary

The quote suggests that the argument of the broken window pane is highly significant in contemporary politics. This is likely a reference to the "broken window fallacy," a theory in economics that claims the repair of a broken window stimulates economic growth since it creates work and income for people involved in the repair process. However, this quote argues that this fallacy has become an influential argument in modern politics, possibly reflecting the tendency for politicians to focus on short-term, visible solutions rather than long-term, substantive policies.
