I'm with the original commentor. The first question we should ask if not "does this provide value to the individuals in a specific group?" but what are the unintended consequences for everyone in the economy?

This is explored very well in the book "Economics in One Lesson": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics_in_One_Lesson




Questions we ask are not going to influence policy in China which runs by a different set of rules.
