Oh! That's nuanced! I was just thinking that what we call non-zero sum thinking today is the basis of both capitalism and socialism. [1]
So if you reject it, I thought you must have some really interesting alternate economic theory you adhere to.
That said, do you think it's more likely that every single interaction between humans would be an exact -1/+1 value exchange, or do you think it'd be a bit more messy like -0.45/+1.213 . If the latter, couldn't -1.1/-4.5 or +2.43/+3.14159 also be possible exchanges?
[1] both capitalism and socialism (despite their many differences) share the premise that economic organization can create more value than would exist without it. They differ primarily on how that value should be distributed and who should control the means of production, not on whether value creation itself is possible.
