I can see your dilemma, Issodhos, we can assume there is no such thing as infinite wealth, because we are, after all, just one tiny planet inhabited by a very finite number of Greedybeasts. What then does finite wealth really mean? I'm going to suggest it means 'limited', while there is an awful lot of it you could still divide it up and give everyone an equal share. If no more wealth were ever created then any time anyone increased his fortune then that of someone else would decrease. New wealth is being created every day though. Gold and diamonds, oil and iron are dug up and added to the wealth. Crops are grown, timber and other renewables harvested. So while all the wealth in the world is finite or limited we don't seem be be reaching the limits yet of how much wealth can be created. The limit we are running into is how many Greeedybeasts it will actually support.
