The punch line of this game is probably the most painful lesson to see play out in society again and again: In the game of prisoners dilemma, if you let defectors win, then you will end up with more defectors. It is not enough that you "win," defectors must lose. Defection must be a losing strategy.
The results that this game displays so eloquently are so central to living in a high trust society that I think it should be mandatory curriculum for all schools.
Crime or corruption gone unpunished will breed more crime or corruption.
