>Wright argues that as complexity in human society increases, the ability to reap "non-zero-sum gains" increases. For example, electronic communications enable trade at a global level, and allow various societies to trade in items they could not produce or obtain otherwise, resulting in benefits for everyone: new goods. Similarly, global governments allow global solutions to common problems. Were aliens to attack, or the Arctic glaciers to melt, the world would be able to use its communicative technologies to band societies together and defend itself at large. In fact, this view of the world as an organic entity itself is touched upon in the penultimate chapter of the book, and is similar to that of Gaia theory.

>Globalism. And we're winning.
WE aren't winning. The premise behind globalism is cooperation for mutual benefit: win-win non-zero-sum logic, as opposed to zero-sum competition. Mutual benefit and correlated outcomes sounds like a lofty ideal, but "too big to fail" is the result of such logic, the logic of a parasite that cannot be uprooted from its host without killing the host in the process.

The parasite is capital and the reduction of humanity to self-interest-maximizing agent-automatons epitomized in game theory - a self-fulfilling prophecy that has created a runaway world based on endless greed and control that is headed towards doomsday. This autonomous movement of the nonliving is winning. The revolution must be not of violence but against money itself, to overturn the whole paradigm of strategy as the basis of human affairs in favor of human needs, and human relationships.

This is literally the Bible of neoliberalism.
