Brooks’ Law
By Ender | January 13, 2009
In the Book “The Mythical Man Month,” Fred Brooks states “adding manpower to a late software project makes it later”. Could it be that this law applies outside the realm of software development? Or even outside the project development arena entirely? I believe it could easily be applied to economies with respect to money. I would conjecture that “throwing more money at a critically ill economy makes it worse.” Maybe it could even be refined to saying “throwing more government at a critically ill government makes it worse.”
There’s a great post over at The American Elephant about “The New, New Deal.” Check it out here:
