A '''false zero-sum game''', or '''zero-sum fallacy''', is the [[logical fallacy]] of asserting, typically without analysis, that a particular situation is a [[zero-sum game]], when in fact it is not.  For example, [[liberal]]s assert that the [[economy]] is a zero-sum game in order to justify [[income redistribution]].  The false zero-sum game is a type of [[false dilemma]].  In [[economics]], a particular form of the false zero-sum game is called the '''lump-of-labor fallacy''', which assumes that since there is (supposedly) a fixed amount of work to be done in the world, changing the number of workers will cause an inverse change in the amount of work per worker, or ''vice versa''.
