Think before spending

If you were spending your own money (including money in your business), you would think very hard about what you were getting in return. Presidents and Prime Ministers around the globe are currently pouring billions into attempts to revitalise their nations' economies.

It is not always apparent that they have thought through the benefits of the money they are spending. Sometimes - even for politicians - doing ... and spending ... nothing might just be the right course of action ... until thinking through the intended and unintended consequences of a course of action.
