On the Multiplicative Effect of Government Spending (or Any Other Spending for that Matter)

There is, among the economist ecosystem, the idea of virtuous public spending as a form of promotion of economic growth. If we think on the way GDP is measured, it is not possible to get that conclusion because it becomes circular: measuring the money flow obviously will detect directly the public spending but always mixed with the flow of money from other sources. The question is how virtuous is public spending per se? Can it promote economic growth? Is there multiplicative effect in GDP bigger than 1? In this paper, we make use of the first principles of Economics to show that government spending is, at the most, as virtuous as private consumption and can be a source of economic depression and inequality if it is not constraint to fundamental services.
