NOT from America, so I don't have to hold the same cultural beleifs you'll do. I have no idea why welfare is linked with the non Zero sumness of the economy, nor subscribe to the other notions mentioned.

Matter of fact, I have diametrically different positions.

My question to you though, is how the economy being non zero sum is a fallacy. I've had to work directly in economics and finance, so if I got this wrong it would be a huge gap. I'd really like to understand how it's a fallacy.
