Capitol Hill Blue Forums Political Issues Finance, the economy & Economics How will the financial crisis develop?

I don't think it is a matter of it being a "hot button" for anyone, checkerboard. I think it is simply that Itstarted has consistently refused to explain what he means by it. I, for example, have googled it and not come across anything that I could use to evaluate its validity or even get a clear idea of what the term is supposed to mean. I have found references to it meaning that at any given moment in time there is a finite amount of wealth owned by people, and that an increase in one person's wealth is a decrease in another person's wealth (wealth is never defined). That strikes me as absolutely ludicrous -- perhaps because there is no definitional basis provided from which I can evaluate it.:-)
