This isn't related to what I was commenting on where the other poster came across as not seeing government by the governed as having economic worth.

Synthesizing between you two’s thoughts, extrapolating somewhat:

- human individuals create wealths

- groups of humans can create kinds of wealth that isn’t possible for a single indovidual. This can be a wide variety of associations: companies, project teams, governments, etc.

- governments (formal or less formal) create the playing field for individuals and groups of individuals to create wealth

Thanks for this comment. You definitely crystalized the two thoughts well and succinctly. Definitely a skill I wish I had. :D
No, I said it was a requisite to generate wealth, but it does not generate it directly.
Gotcha. Definitely felt like I made that comment a little too rush, especially in the context of all the others as well.
