Take a smaller scale economy at your nearby corner market. Say you own a nice cozy neighborhood Cafe. Next door a Verizon Kiosk opens, with 1/5 of the rental space that you use - this and other similar franchises drive up rental prices. Your lease is now due, and there is a big jump in the monthly rent. You will not be able to survive with this increase. So you decide to close, because nobody will be paying $5 for cup of coffee to offset the new leasing price. The community loses it's lifestyle - the cozy local neighborhood, the "comfort" zone. The appeal that may make this area distinct is gone. This sort of changing landscape is similar to when Wal-Mart moves into a neighborhood. How to account for businesses that provide value for the greater good "society"? vs. businesses that obey competitive rules? I don't think Game Theory explains this situation, but would be interested if anyone could shed light on this economic model. - Thanks. This situation brings up an interesting dilemma.
