Mar 12, 2018 at 14:34 comment added Semaphore @Santiago Neuschwanstein is a great example of what you described. The king went into severe debts building it and his government was wildly opposed. But within years of his death it became a huge tourist attraction and a significant source of profits.
Mar 12, 2018 at 14:04 comment added Santiago Maybe building a palace (Versailles for example) would be seen as a bad economic decision, because is a waste of resources. But now, that palace is a huge tourist attraction, and probably has been an important source or revenue.

Mar 7, 2018 at 14:33 comment added Semaphore How are you defining "bad government intervention"? The obvious interpretation (an intervention is bad if it leads to a bad outcome) would seem to render your question a logical contradiction.
