	Goodhart's law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Goodhart's law is the equivalent in the social sciences of the uncertainty principle in physics.
		The law was named for its developer, Charles Goodhart (a chief economic advisor to the Bank of England).
		The law was first stated in the 1980s in the context of the attempt by the United Kingdom government of Margaret Thatcher to conduct monetary policy on the basis of targets for broad and narrow money, but the idea is considerably older.

		New York has laws that prevent employers in the private sector from taking adverse employment actions against employees involved in “whistle blowing” activities.
		In addition, this law provides the employer with a defense to an employee’s action; the employer will not be liable if the employment decision was based upon other legitimate reasons.
		Its reasons were that it did not violate any law, rule or regulation and even if there was a violation, there was no threat to the health of safety of the public.

		More of me in a moment; his name was Andrew Goodhart, and in almost every way he was the complete opposite of me. Outgoing, full of good nature, hair blond and curly, eyes clear blue, face combining a classical beauty with a wicked smile, voice already broken, body sturdy and athletic.
		All the time the Goodharts were free to have me in August, my parents were booked to attend a variety of meetings and conferences throughout the country.
		Andrew was determined that the fiasco of the summer should not be repeated, and this time the Goodharts interceded directly with my parents by writing to ask if they could steal me for at least part of the time.
