There's a great followup to this in Doug Hofstadter's book "Metamagical Themas". It's a collection of his columns in "Scientific American". Among many many other things he has a couple of chapters on a study wherein the "Prisoner's Dilemma" game was run in a simulation, with "players" (programs) using different strategies. Invariably a very simple "Tit for tat" - "do as you were most recently done to" - strategy was the winner. There were many variations, including sims of a "population" of many "players" using various strategies with "survival" benefits for profits from transactions, and again "Tit for tat" players prospered, while all others died off.

All in all it says that a "we society" will work better and will allow more prosperity for everyone.

The problem is that in the real world we have no way to punish the corporations - to "cheat them back" - when they cheat us.
