This is a silly inversion of causality. The thing that causes increased economic activity is people working for it. Not just the wealthy with their vast resources, the many people that work alongside them because they think it will be beneficial.

> Not just the wealthy

I think you misread. I literally used myself as an example and am definitely not that wealthy :p

> because they think it will be beneficial

The Capital-class have, on the other hand, definitely constructed a world where this is true for us as individual. However I am talking about the effect on Us the collective-singular.

Meh, it's not strictly commutative, and money is ultimately an abstraction for real resources, not just an abstraction.

Really, if you didn't have a job you'd be working much harder for less. The vibes say that's bullshit, but whatever.
