Your comment is pretty meaningless because you're just repeating the exact same "it's not a fixed pie", which I already replied to. Just read my above comment one more time, consider it a reply to your statement, and see if you understand it then. > It's not a zero-sum game. Well, it is. Thermodynamics. Earth is pretty much a closed system, except for the sun. So for example if you invest $100 in a farm and get a return of 10%, where does that come from? The nutrients in the soil, the effort expended by the workers, and the power of the sun to turn seeds into food. All value comes either from finite resources in the ground (nuclear, oil, ...), from solar power, or from human effort (work, innovations, etc.)
