Answer to Question 1

To economists, what matters most is that the exchange between two individuals takes place whenever an opportunity for the same arises. The fact that exchange benefits both parties is a positive statement. However, normative economics has no way to determine which of the two individuals deserves a higher share of the benefit resulting from the exchange.

Answer to Question 2
