We’re in the Zero Sum Era. How Do We Get Out?

Zero-sum thinking has spread like a mind virus, from geopolitics to pop culture.


In a multiracial democracy, emphasising race can be a recipe for zero-­sum competition for public resources


What Is a Zero-Sum Game?

Zero-sum is a situation in game theory in which one person’s gain is equivalent to another’s loss, so the net change in wealth or benefit is zero. A zero-sum game may have as few as two players or as many as millions of participants. In financial markets, options and futures are examples of zero-sum games, excluding transaction costs. For every person who gains on a contract, there is a counter-party who loses.
