Yes, but in a world without growth, this was a zero-sum game. If you won at that game, it was only because someone else lost.

- mxkopy 4y agoNo coincidence of wants is also a requisite for zero-sum. If my estate were used primarily for logging, but people also found it beautiful, I could teach my children how to manage a hostel business and increase its value without devaluing anything else. Also, who's to say the world isn't zero-sum now? I'm certainly feeling squeezed, even with all this supposed growth and modernity.
