Among the different modes of social interaction,mainstrain economics emphasizes market exchange and neglects conflict actions.Conflict economics and exchange economics should constitute two coequal branches of economic analysis,the first based upon contract and mutual gain,the second upon contest for asymmetric advantage.The main topics of conflict economics are sources of conflict,technology of struggle and redistribution effect of conflict.Integrating conflict theory with exchange theory will broaden the dimensions of microeconomics.It will thus help us not only to better understand our traditional topics of optimizing behavior and market equilibrium,but also to better study the nature of man and of social interactions.
