Five girls.....five guys.....SOMEONE has to end up with the blonde. Why theory math and economics is mostly useless. How did it work out in REAL life, Adam Smith?a fan wrote:Have you seen Beautiful Mind?HooDat wrote:so what IS the point of alliances then, to serve other people's interests.....?
but perhaps you and I have different definitions of "interests". Not everything is monetary.
Ignore the blonde.
This is Trump in a nutshell, actually. Ever wonder why his businesses fail? Repeatedly? Because he's Adam Smith. Only looks at his interests, and if it burns his partners, he doesn't hesitate, nor care. He's the opposite of Buffett: slash and burn, instead of grow and nurture. Who would you rather do business with? Trump, or Buffett? And who is leading a more fulfilling life?
So to answer your question, the secondary gains frequently far outweigh primary costs of alliances. Trump isn't wise enough to understand this.
Love the fact that I was in this movie....yup....the kids making fun of Nash. Horrible, horrible person in real life. Literally SPAT on my Jewish friend.
