that's not strictly correct. What seems to work best is enlightened self-interest. This is the recognition that we all do better by cooperating than we do by trying to maximise our own gains at the expense of others. It's not a zero-sum game. Where systems such as communism and laissez-faire capitalism fail is when we forget that, and a small clique is able temporarily to run things for their own benefit, at our expense.
