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?

If you simply begin with the first question of what is wealth? you will have to address the subsequent answers within the context of different societies. i.e. wealth in the Sudan is different from wealth in the US is different from wealth in Bolivia. I do believe that you are on to something, in some countries wealth is not always material.
