How To Make Use Of This Lesser-known Paradox Of Wealth

Make every exchange a Win-Win-WIN situation.

Imagine this:

You are a Painter and you’ve just finished an awesome painting.

Now you want to put it up for sale.

It’s pretty straight forward:

• Your aim is to earn money from your craft.
• The potential buyer’s aim is to obtain a piece of art for aesthetic pleasure.

Sooner or later, a transaction was made.

Let’s say you sold the painting for $100

• The buyer would only buy the painting if he/she feels like it was worth more than $100.
• And you would only sell it for $100 if you feel like it was worth less than $100.

So, what’s the moral of the story here?

The Paradox of Wealth is that Wealth is built through unequal exchange.
