You know I’m not being that simplistic.
An extreme example: You find a million dollars worth of gold and you increase wealth by a million dollars;
You make a million dollars making/selling emojis and you don’t increase wealth at all.
IT has done a lot (are there FINALLY any ‘paperless offices?) to increase efficiency, which creates new wealth, but mostly it hasn’t increased wealth.
This is what make me wonder how you're defining wealth.
I can take the $1M emoji money and buy gold. Am I not $1M more wealthy?
How do you account for the growth in market cap for US stocks, now in excess of $30T?
What do you think that would be without PCs and small office computers?
