What I'm saying is, where does this 'wealth' come from? It's the same whether in personal terms, or nation to nation. It comes from somewhere else. Any actual increase in the utility of the planet's resources occurs relatively slowly, IMO.

I'm not really an economist, but my theory is mainly that the creation of wealth is largely an illusion, and what you're really seeing is mainly its (re)distribution. I am firmly of the opinion that greed is not a victimless crime.
