Do people who lie have an advantage over people who do not lie?

In asking that question I'm not talking about the polite lies that oil social interaction, such as: "How are you doing." "Fine, thank you."

In the short term lies and lying people can have an advantage over non-liars. But lies are found out and sometimes dealt with harshly.  But then people who lie come up with new lies to cover old lies, and on we go.

It seems to me that a people who maintain a warrior society lie less because, for example, lying about the strength of ones troops can get many people killed. eg. "Tell the truth and shoot strait." But that may not apply to spying and espionage, which really complicates the question.

A non-warrior people, a merchandising people, may gain advance from lying, culturally and even genetically, as liar's might do well bartering etc.

What happens when the warrior-mentality comes up against the merchandising-mentality? Maybe that's when caste's develop.
