I was thinking about this a lot today and I really, really think it's a zero sum game. That there exists a maximum, non-infinite amount of order and wealth that could possibly created on Earth, but all of that is coupled with the spending of resources. That you can say man can take a tomato and turn it into an amazing meal implies a great wealth multiplier but certainly not an infinite wealth multiplier. It is impossible for anything to be able to take any consistent parts, organize them, and yield infinite wealth.
I would like to hear why anyone thinks that there exists the possibility for infinite wealth or why wealth-creation is not a zero sum game.
Did you see my post regarding this? Wealth is directly correlated to energy. As long as we have energy we can turn it into wealth. Energy is the only raw material needed to create wealth, energy never leaves the universe, and we are going to have a constant stream of energy from the sun for five billion years.
