One's distruction is other's opportunity, is it true?

Answer 1

Absolutely not. Free market economics proves otherwise.

Consider any voluntary transaction, any act of commerce. You have something, money, that another person wants. That other person has something, bread, which you want. At some price, you will want his bread more than that amount of your money, and he will want that amount of money more than the loaf of bread he has. The result? He sells you the loaf, you pay him the agreed-upon amount, and you BOTH gain from the transaction, trading something you had for something you wanted more.

To say that one person's opportunity or gain can only come from another's loss, this can be true only in a zero-sum game. Communism and, to a large degree, socialism treat economics as such a zero-sum game, and this is why they ultimately fail. Their policies are of wealth redistribution, not wealth creation. Market economics, composed of commerce between individual willing agents, is a positive-sum game. This means that two people can engage in a transaction, and both can gain from it. Wealth is created because both sides are better off than before the transaction.

Answer 2

Value is not a static quantity too be fought over. Value is created by those who know what it is and how to make it real. Value is exchanged among those who appreciate its worth and are willing to pay the price necessary to maintain it. Value is destroyed in any attempts to take it forcibly from those who create it, trade it and are its rightful owners.

No real or lasting benefit is ever gained by one at the expense of another. All of the great advances throughout human history have been the result of individual creativity and production and mutually agreed exchange of value for value.

Answer 3

No, because opportunity exists all the time, and sometimes one's destruction also means another's destruction as well.

Answer 4

yes,it is. one man's loss is another man's gain.

literal example, if someone resigned from a position or got fired, another one will take that position.

i think the perfect example is war over freedom. people lose lives but they gain freedom for the next generation.
