Game theory explainer argues politicians and CEOs harm the country on purpose

Original: Why Politicians & CEOs Intentionally Ruin the Country (Game Theory)

German game theorist Christian Rieck has published a video essay examining why politicians and corporate leaders make decisions that damage the country, using game theory to explain the incentives behind such behaviour. The argument frames destructive outcomes as rational strategy within competitive systems rather than mere incompetence, and it has drawn hundreds of thousands of reactions.

Why now: Frustration with political and corporate decision-making is driving interest in explanations that frame bad outcomes as deliberate strategy.
