What if you're better at making chairs, and I'm better at making shoes? As you say, partiality of resources, but how is that trade zero-sum? You benefit, I benefit. To be zero-sum, one of us would need to lose.



So you're saying wealth is actually something like happiness? Then I can see it can be created, but I thought he was talking about something materialistic.


Kind of. I'm not sure how I would categorize it, really. "Wealth" is abstract, but shoes are not.
