The thing that causes economics not to be a zero-sum game is the creation of wealth. Moneylending is not a segment of the economy that creates wealth (though if loaned to the right person who starts a successful business it may do it indirectory). If loaned to someone who can't afford to do anything but maintain the debt, it is a zero-sum game. Bankruptcies actually destroy wealth.
