"What's Good For MM Enterprises Is Good For The US Of A!"

"...capitalism did make an important contribution to global harmony by encouraging people to stop viewing the economy as a zero-sum game, in which your profit is my loss, and instead see it as a win-win situation, in which your profit is also my profit. This mutual-benefit approach has probably helped global harmony far more than centuries of Christian preaching about loving your neighbour and turning the other cheek."
-Yuval Noah Harari, Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow (London, 2017), Chapter 6, pp. 244-245.

My main reason for quoting this passage is that Poul Anderson's Nicholas van Rijn promulgates "win-win," most notably on t'Kela.

My comments on Harari's passage:

I agree that preaching is not enough and also that capitalist win-win is preferable to pre-capitalist win-lose;

however, I hope that I do not have to spell out that capitalism is not always win-win! (Anderson shows this in "Lodestar" and Mirkheim.)
