Unless wealth is born only to be destroyed. Hmm, I'm liking this more and more as I think on it.
Whatever it takes to make the tomatoes, to make the sauce, to make the meal that you enjoy at Restaurant XYZ, it builds in "value", in "order", until you finally destroy it all for a fee.
But that still means that wealth is a zero sum game, we just hope the wealth created is in Man's hands and the wealth destroyed is shouldered by infinite reservoirs.
