"Money is just the medium through which wealth can move and be traded. To create more money, the government just fires up the ‘ol proverbial HP LaserJet All-In-One OfficeJet 8620 and suddenly there’s more money."

This is great

Most "wealth" is just government regulations. Property is the prime example.

Imagine you own an empty block of land. If it is zoned that no building is allowed, it is almost worthless. But if you are allowed to build a house it worth much more. The only difference is government regulations.

If you are allowed to multiple homes or an apartment block then you land is worth much more.

Tk : DR - Over 80% of real estate value creation is changes in land use.

You have two cows.

You trade one for a bull.

That is how wealth is created. Govt is not needed except to protect your rights to buy a bull.

This isn't wealth creation; not all increases in value is because of creation.

Does this viewpoint help explain anything in a useful way? I do not understand why you would think of wealth this way.
