I don't operationalize anything, I'm just listing and describing. Things aren't available unless they are either accumulated already or can be produced quickly from other things that already are accumulated. There is enormous wealth in all the infrastructure and institutions large and small. For all the value in the medicines that currently sit on shelves, the ability to crank up production of some if deemed necessary is of great value too. We're not great at allocating the national wealth IMHO but we can see countries that do it much worse.
