What's the tangible evidence that the world is a positive-sum game? The tangible evidence to me seems to suggest it's a zero-sum game. E.g., a product costs $X, owners get too large of a % of that compared to employees.

I didn't say anything about the strength of the idea. Her Stanford credentials are irrelevant. It's still an ad.
