> owning things is that it is usually zero-sum The only thing I can think of to which this applies is collectables. Land? No. There is an aspect of land ownership which is zero sum, but if all you want is land, it's always for sale, and the value of a given plot can be improved with labor and investment. The land the Empire State Building sits on would be very valuable just sitting on Manhattan Island, but is even more valuable with an iconic skyscraper on it. Businesses? Absolutely not, they can be created for modest amounts of money at any time. "Real capital" like equipment? Clearly not, every purchase is presumably profitable to the seller, meaning they get enough money to make another one for the next customer in line.
