Abstract
- The article titled "Activity Is Not Achievement: Government Edition" discusses the misconception that increased government spending on infrastructure automatically leads to more infrastructure being built. The author argues that while the government may be good at spending money, this does not necessarily result in tangible achievements or benefits for the public. The article highlights the importance of distinguishing between activity (spending) and achievement (actual infrastructure development) and suggests that government spending often serves the interests of donors and specific constituencies rather than the general public.
