Cipolla Matrix

By | Matrix

Helpless people: contribute to society but are taken advantage of by it (and especially by the “bandit” sector of it); note, however, that extreme altruists and pacifists may willingly and consciously (rather than helplessly) accept a place in this category for moral or ethical reasons

Intelligent people: contribute to society and who leverage their contributions into reciprocal benefits

Bandits: pursue their own self-interest even when doing so poses a net detriment to societal welfare

Stupid people: whose efforts are counterproductive to both their and others’ interests
