o many, the positive impact of programs such as 
Carp for Carts and the jobs created by the Shady 
Swamp construction project, was taken for granted. It 
was easy to see how these ideas boosted sales and put 
people to work.
But as was the case with Senate-fi nanced hut loans, it 
was far from certain that such spending was the most 
effective use of the island’s resources. In fact, none of 
these activities did much to expand productive capacity.
Not nearly as evident were the jobs that were destroyed or 
not created as a result of diverting scarce labor and capital 
to the activities that the Senate deemed to be important 
enough to fund.
Through trial and error, market forces would have 
determined the best use for remaining investment capital. 
Enterprises that misread the market would lose money and 
investors would back away. Those that got it right would 
profi t, attract more capital, and expand. 
Perhaps efforts would have been better spent building 
nets, farming equipment, or canoes. The most successful 
ventures would have been those that most effi ciently gave 
the people what they wanted, when they wanted it. But 
with the free market now apparently discredited, everyone 
put their faith in a small group of people to make decisions 
normally left to the island as a whole.
