Summary:
Tomado de Amazon: When the government imposes new taxes, rules or regulations, which creates the results often differ from the original intent. In some cases, these results
are so severe that make the policy a failure. The law of unintended consequences has gained increasing importance in the era of growing government, and this book explores four major examples:
taxes on cigarettes, alcohol prohibition, the minimum wage, and income taxes federal. Thomas E. Hall examines how policies came into existence, which influenced policy considerations
underlying the process, unwanted outcomes of policies, and why many of these policies are still in place. Because many of these consequences desired are not profoundly negative, the author
argues that the moral of these four key examples is increasingly being considered a new government policy, much more detailed review should consider the range of possible consequences
unwanted a practice that is rarely or never used.
