This is such a patriarchal/capitalist/libertarian/white supremacist take.
What about the birthing and raising of children? What about the schooling of children? Of course in a man's world this is never assigned any value.
What about slavery? America was built on chattel slavery, indentured servitude, and lessor degrees of coercion and exploitation that leverages asymmetries in wealth and freedom. While the first two are technically outlawed, the latter thrives as strong as ever. If coercing resources out of the ground (#6) is a wealth creation mechanism, isn't coercion of labor out of human bodies to do the actual work of #1-6 another wealth creation mechanism, even if it's one we don't want to admit, or at least talk about honestly?
What about Rentier Capitalism[1]? Is it something we want to avoid talking about?
