Prisoner's Dilemma

Merriam-Webster's  defines Prisoner's Dilemma as:

"Imaginary situation employed in game theory. One version is as follows. Two prisoners are accused of a crime. If one confesses and the other does not, the one who confesses will be released immediately and the other will spend 20 years in prison. If neither confesses, each will be held only a few months. If both confess, they will each be jailed 15 years. They cannot communicate with one another. Given that neither prisoner knows whether the other has confessed, it is in the self-interest of each to confess himself. Paradoxically, when each prisoner pursues his self-interest, both end up worse off than they would have been had they acted otherwise.

I believe that this transfers socially in things like Team Work. If you have two groups working on the same project. If everything goes off with out a hitch, then no worries! If the project fails, then you have to worry about "what exactley" went wrong to be able to prove some part of the team combo went wrong. It has an effect on all of the people in said groups morals. What do they find to be the right, versus what is morally wrong. Complications that are pro or con, will affect the players well after the game has ended.
