We could, in agreement, build a wonderous understanding of economics without illuminating the definition of my wealth-ceiling versus Lyric's infinity because both are essentially, and squiggly sign, the same.
But I would prefer knowing what's under every rock, shining light through every corner, bending and breaking the system in every way.

We use facebook because it allows us to connect with people we could have never connected with before. If you don't want to use these things, you are perfectly free to do so. But what you're saying is you want to pay these people for these awesome services, then take the money, that we all voluntarily paid them, back.
You're trying to have your cake and eat it to.
Because understanding the above means knowing that Zuckerburg's wealth came from somewhere, and that somewhere to me is the idea of judged value on the organization of resources.
If I want to use that as the foundation for my understanding, I want to know everything I'm implying when I say "that somewhere to me is the idea of judged value on the organization of resources."
edit, I think a very interesting case study beyond Gates or Zuckerburg is: Anurag Dikshit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He is wealthy, but what wealth did he create?
