How It Started. How It’s Going. | Epsilon Theory
If there s a single common thread in everything we write about politics here at Epsilon Theory, it s that we believe our domestic political games have been transformed from coordination games, where positive-sum gameplay is at least possible, into pure competition games, where only zero-sum gameplay exists. We believe that has happened without any change in the rules of our domestic political games, but through the actions of political entrepreneurs who defected from the way the game was traditionally played. Once one political entrepreneur enjoyed success from this defection, ALL politicians were forced to follow suit, permanently changing the nature of the game.
The exact same thing happened in the NBA.
