| ZERO-SUM GAME |
Economist: Noughts and Crosses is a zero sum
game, a ZSG.
Student: Meaning?
Economist: Means one player wins, the other
loses.
Student: What do you call it when both players
win?
Economist: A game where everyone wins? A
win-win game. A positive sum game.
Student: What about a game where everyone
loses?
Economist: Like nuclear war? A negative sum
game I guess.

Voice-over
Is there an opposite to a zero-sum game? Here’s
an interesting discussion.
Video games are almost all zero sum games. In a
very difficult game, if you give up, the game wins. I’m hard put to suggest a
video game where everyone wins. For a short introduction to video games go
