Wealth in and of itself is ok. Somehow we have to divorce the concepts of GDP and profit from social benefit. Infrastructure improvement will never happen without this concept. Suggest a 1% Robin Hood tax on all financial transactions for a sovereign wealth fund or infrastructure projects; notice the blank stares.

Thanks, Sim. I hear you on the need for short-term steps but "wealth" is a human construct that condemns most forms of life to misery. The blank stares multiply!

Wealth is also highly subjective. For me, wealth is a nice farmette with a house full of grandchildren. For others, it's the endless pursuit of fulfillment outside one's self.

(Yeah I did shift the goalpost a touch)

MAy I also add the addendum that we should seek that which fulfills us. Money is a construct that almost always is JUST out of reach. Chase your cheese, mouse!
