You'll have to scroll up to see his point. It was related to how the title of article was aiming at the possession of currency rather than the possession of wealth.

Yes it's quite sad how I had to repeat myself 3 times. At least you understand :) What I don't understand is why when anyone here sees the word "zero-sum" they rush in to talk about Paul Graham's explanation of wealth creation regardless of what the subject is. And sadly I've since then lost 5 karma from people who like to jump on this "wealth is not a zero-sum game" bandwagon.

  Is it sad that you assume all capitalist people here are repeating views from PG, rather than explaining their own independent views?

    But they are repeating PG's views. And they're doing it out of context.

    What's happening here is that Paul Graham wrote about apples, and I am writing about oranges. You saw the word fruit and now you keep saying apples apples apples.
