Economic value isnt a physical resource being depleted....
- ptx 20d agoBut it seems this "economic value" is often created by depleting actual physical resources (e.g. people's health, clean air and water), usually resources belonging someone other than the person capturing the "value".
- fuzzfactor 20d agoSo many don't want to admit things like that. "Economic value" is great stuff and kind of all-encompassing. But a lot of it is mainly moving money around after wealth has already been created, sometimes generations earlier. To this day the lion's share of "creating wealth" is traceable to natural resources.
- streetfighter64 18d agoCan you explain what economic value actually is, in your view? I think I gave a fairly good explanation of my viewpoint, your reply doesn't add anything as I never claimed anything remotely similar to that "economic value is a physical resource being depleted". What does that even mean?
