Had the party's economic theories been sound and had it succeeded in implementing its program, the inflation rate would have lessened considerably. ███ ███████ ███ █████████ ████ ████████ ██████████ ███ ███████ ████████ ████████ ████ ███ ███ ███ █████
The argument establishes a conditional relationship with a conjunction in the sufficient condition: If the party’s theories had been sound and it had succeeded in implementing its program, then the inflation rate would have dropped. It then concludes that a specific part of the sufficient condition is absent because the necessary condition is absent.
This argument features bad conditional reasoning. We’re given a conditional statement with a conjunction in the sufficient condition, so the absence of the necessary condition only means that one part of the sufficient condition is missing. We don’t know which part is missing, however, so it’s flawed to claim that the party’s theories were not sound, as it might instead be that they did not succeed in implementing their program.
