   Capitalism is not a zero sum game

   Hello..   
      
      
   Capitalism is not a zero sum game   
      
   In game theory, a zero sum game is one in which the gains of one are exactly   
   balanced by the losses of another. In economics, a zero sum game is aptly   
   described by the saying, “As the rich get richer, the poor get poorer.”   
   Many assume that our “   
   economic pie” is static, so that if some take more of the pie, there is less   
   for others to share. But capitalism increases the size of the pie, and   
   although some may get bigger pieces than others, all gain.   
      
   Many politicians, including many in the current crop, think the economy is a   
   zero sum game. Hence they attempt to “redistribute the wealth” in the name   
   of fairness. But their attempts to make things “fair” just decreases the   
   size of the economic    
   pie, to the detriment of all.
