              In this note, we want to give an outline how a combinatorial theory including, in particular, matching theory may be based on a very simple combinatorial principle. This principle states that, under certain restrictions, an optimal combinatorial object can be constructed in a straight-forward manner, namely by the "greedy algorithm".
