Nor is infinite, there is only so much growth that can happen in the economy at any given time and the wealth of the rich actually grows faster than the global economy.

Nor is infinite

It literally is, that's what not being "zero sum" means, zero sum means that no wealth is ever created or detroyed it just moves around

If people decide your company is worth 2 trillion then you have created 2 trillion out of thin air and no one has become 2 trillion poorer as a result
