I ask this from a deliberate perspective of naiveté, but are there not a finite amount of resources?

Not so much to provoke a lesson in why system A is better/worse than system B, but . . . what is "wealth" anyway?

If there is a finite amount of stuff you can possess, is "wealth" how much more you have than others? Or is it the power to take what you want?
