First exception?
Polistra's Law of Inferred Intent applies universally to people with power. Pay no attention to words or agendas, look at the RESULTS of their actions. The RESULT is what the leader wanted. Don't assume the leaders are "clueless", don't bother with "unintended consequences". All consequences are intended.
Modi in India may be the first important exception to this rule. In a country that runs almost entirely on paper currency, he pulled the $10 and $20 bills out of circulation. The country is falling apart FAST. Now major manufacturers are laying off much of their workforce because local sales have stopped.
Is this really what he wants? India has an active Parliament that isn't afraid to remove a bad ruler, and India also has a history of killing bad rulers. Is he trying to get shot by his bodyguards? If he wanted to leave his job, he could have simply resigned.
