# Private Misconduct Versus Public Prodigality
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition
|
||||
|
||||
The distinction between individual economic errors and government
|
||||
extravagance as causes of reduced productive funds. While private misconduct
|
||||
rarely affects great nations due to compensation by others' good conduct,
|
||||
public prodigality employing revenue in maintaining unproductive hands can
|
||||
significantly diminish funds for productive labour.
|
||||
|
||||
## Source Chapter
|
||||
|
||||
Book II, Chapter 3
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
Smith argues that public prodigality is more dangerous than private misconduct
|
||||
because it operates at scale and is not compensated by others' frugality,
|
||||
potentially leading to national impoverishment.
