Go teaches: trade! If you gain points while threatening one group, and your opponent responds by gaining points while threatening another one, sometimes trading one group for the other one is the best thing to do.
But the really important thing about trade in the real world is that it can be win-win. Since Go is a zero-sum game, its lessons about economics will be distorted. (As will be its lessons about war.)
I don’t think he was talking about a lesson in international economics. It was more of a lesson against forming sentimental attachments to things that have been in your possession for a long time.
