You certainly don't need economic investment to become "rich" in culture, enlightenment, or humanity, for sure. And there is value to that.

However, financiers played an indisputable role in the current state of economic wealth in today's world.

Indisputable role in economic precarity, more commonly known as wage slavery.

Slavery is positively correlated with market capitalization per capita.
It is not.

Good talk.
