>>12026307>It's called maintaining a competitive advantage>It'swhat is "it" you're referring to? positive sum economics or business in general?
cause negative sum economics can be EXTREMELY competitive advantageous
in fact I'd say negative sum economics dominates the world as a whole
a good example of this is smart negative sum economics is what's responsible for global warming. Everybody knows oil causes global warming, and everybody knows it's going to cost future generations BIG time, but nobody cares because we're all profiting off it right now in the present. In the future oil will have great and greater diminishing returns, both as harvesting it becomes more expensive (from tar sand and such) but also in the cost of dealing with cleaning carbon emissions and dealing with the global warming impacts. It's a perfect example of negative sum economics.
