Yes, wealth can be created and destroyed. It's ridiculous to think otherwise.
You really think that there is equal wealth today as there was during the Middle Ages? That people lived as well then as they do now?
Computers didn't improve anything, mass manufacturing technology hasn't improved anything.
Or hell. All the gold mining hasn't increased wealth at all?
If you believe in a gold backed currency. More gold = more wealth right?
A poor person lives better now then he did 40-50 years ago when wealth disparity was smaller?
If a giant EMP wiped out all computers and technology across the world. Everyone isn't suddenly poorer then the day before?
