The way modern economists analyze this, any transaction creates value for both the buyer and the seller. If owning a Thingie is worth $60 for me and $20 for you, we both gain $20 when I buy yours, and the world is $40 richer. You can think of all wealth as created by trade from this perspective. In the Linux case, it destroyed value for proprietary UNIX vendors, and created value for millions of UNIX users. |
