Game Rules ... Revisited

Game Rules

• Politics is a zero-sum game: for anything won, there must be something lost.
• The market (i.e., voluntary exchange) is a positive-sum game: every voluntary player wins.

Game Rules Revisited

• The Market is a positive-sum game (winners and winners) that is usually thought of as a zero-sum game (winners and losers).
• Politics is a negative-sum game (losers and losers) that is talked about as a positive-sum game, while generally believed to be a zero-sum game.
