This isn't a sarcastic reply, please define "wealth" as you mean it and prove that it isn't finite on a planet with finite resources, time, and manpower. How is wealth created and not then transferred from one person to another? If the wealthy get wealthier through either extracting resources from their workers or rent seeking behavior, where does the extra wealth come from? In fiat currencies, while dollars may increase, that doesn't mean wealth increases and in fact, inflationary pressures can mean someone is continually losing wealth if they aren't moving their money. So I understand the argument of wealth expanding, but I don't understand how it gets around the laws of physics.
