Harvesting the mushrooms is production. It has added value by creating a marketable good. Transporting the mushrooms to the store is a service.

In what point the harvesting ends and transporting being? When you move mushrooms up from the ground is harvesting, but when you move horizontally is transporting?

BTW, mushrooms become marketable only when they reach the market or at least the road. So maybe harvesting ends and servicing when you cross the border of the forest?

"When your dentist fixes your teeth is it producing some value/wealth?"

The dentist has performed a service, but no wealth has been created.

But if he ruins your teeth and you get artificial ones you get wealthier, since you carry a manufactured product in your mouth?

Willy, I expect from you more than from free-marketeers who stick to the rigid formulas :)

Please amend your FReeper homepage with a list of terminology whose definitions are too inconvenient for you to abide by, Mr. Pole.

Perhaps it makes you unhappy that the formula 1+1 equals 2.
While there may be many dissenters, I'm sure there will also be many "creative thinkers" who will be sufficiently open-minded to permit you to redefine the number "1" so that you may have any "correct" answer that you wish.

If you have time you can also include all the different meanings of the word "is" that you subscribe to as well. Please list them alphabeticly A~Z in capital letters, then a~z in lower case. If that is insufficient to list all your definitions of "is", you may continue utilizing the Greek alphabet, upper and lower case. Give us a ping when you're done.
