I remember this from Hackers and Painters.

Money is a zero-sum game, wealth is not. So yes, I can't have the same dollar that you have.

I get a dollar, put it in the bank, which lends it to your company, which pays it to you.

It's sitting there on both your and my bank statement. We both have it at the same time.

Well, minus reserve requirements. :-)
