Human beings do not fight like animals in competition to consume finite resources. Rather, their self-interest drives them to use their reason to expand the supply of goods to others, benefitting everyone. One man's gain is positively other men's gain.

People always complain about CEOs making so much money while their workers are barely getting by. If a CEO gets paid $10 Million but produces $20 Million in efficiency there is a net gain for society. This includes cheaper products, more jobs, and a higher standard of living for more people. There is nothing 'trickle down' about it, wealth is created from the ground up.
