Is life a see-saw? Zero-sum thinking and moderation

.

Chapter 3 in The Ethics of Competition, 2019, pp 58-106 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter identifies zero-sum thinking as the primary thought behind the rejection of competition. It traces this thinking throughout the Bible, history, and philosophy, from Martin Luther to Kant, Fichte, and Hegel. It contrasts these views with Adam Smith’s conception of bourgeois virtues. The chapter also addresses cultural differences in attitudes towards competition and cites experimental findings.
