Before a Trade and after a Trade, there are still the same number of Houses and Horseshoes. The Total Wealth has not changed, no matter what number of "Dollars" or "Gold Grams" are _THOUGHT_ to represent them. Some different people may now own the Houses and the Horseshoes, but they still exist and SOMEONE owns them! Zero Sum.
