Goodhart’s law is an adage named after British economist Charles Goodhart, who advanced the idea in a 1975 article on monetary policy in the United Kingdom, Problems of Monetary Management: the U.K. Experience: Any observed statistical regularity will tend to collapse once pressure is placed upon it for control purposes. It was later used to criticize the British Thatcher government for trying to conduct monetary policy on the basis of targets for broad and narrow money.
