Mutually Beneficial Exchange

...the only kind of exchange that happens in the free market.  

"If an exchange between two parties is voluntary, it will not take place unless both parties believe they will benefit from it.  Most economic fallacies derive from the neglect of this simple insight, from the tendency to assume that there is a fixed pie, that one party can gain only at the expense of another."
 ~ Milton Friedman

"What pays under capitalism is satisfying the common man, the customer.  The more people you satisfy, the better for you."
~ Ludwig von Mises
