This is absolutely wrong, there is a whole field of economics studying trade and you should read at least about comparative advantage. In healthy economy trade is for mutual benefit.

Acting for your own benefit is not mutually exclusive with mutual benefit.

In fact, most business transactions are mutually beneficial through no particular impetus from the parties: One party gets whatever goods or services he needed/wanted, the other party gets whatever monies he needed/wanted; both parties are hopefully better off and happier than before.

I reiterate: Business is about exploiting someone somewhere for your benefit, no exceptions.

Given the controversy over the word "exploit", do you mind restating your belief without using the word "exploit" to make sure we all understand what you mean? Is this a fair restating?

I already did.[1][2]

Your inability to comprehend plain English is not a controversy nor is it my problem.
