I didn't say the services of shipping, marketing and retailing are not useful. THEY DO NOT CREATE WEALTH.

To create wealth means you created something tangible, something that can be touched. Services just transfer wealth from one person to another it is not a creative process. The most important way to create real wealth are to "make it, mine it, grow it or construct it". Any other economic activity that does not involve those things are secondary services.

If I'm in the auto manufacturing business, how do I touch the rubber that is used for my tires when it is halfway around the world?

If that's the way you understand the wealth creation process, I'm willing to bet that you don't create any wealth at all -- for anyone.

I have a manufacturing job, am I “creating” wealth? Personally, I think I spend most of my time staring at a computer. But when I was actually making stuff as a machine operator, was I creating wealth, then? Was I ever?
