> Every aspect of the field comes down to asking questions about physical resources and their uses. Nope. Moving 200 million in rock or 200 million in a paper check (or even a promise-based conversation). The extractable amount/usage of Labor and Resources outstrip the human ability to account for it. This has less to do with physics and more to do with "accounting". Without accounting you cannot have negative wealth, for example. This is not tied to physics. This is based on social contracts...all the way down to the currency. I am a little interested in this physics-based economy you speak of.
