I've heard this expression a lot, not exactly sure what it means although I (think!) I get the main idea. It's clearly a mathematical reference, although, again, I'm not sure what it means there either. Zero sum: a math problem in which the answer is 0? For example, 2 minus 2? So then the expression 'it's not a zero sum problem' would mean that if I have two apples, and then give you two of them, I would not really have zero, because I would have your goodwill? Am I even close?
