> You are confusing money for wealth

I was trying specifically to not do so; I was expressing money as the point-in-time measurement of wealth.

That's the point though, it's inaccurate to do so. Money is a finite resource, but its value constantly fluctuates. It's just a unit of exchange that exists for convenience. The total supply of money does not correlate to the amount of 'wealth' in the world, such as it is.

I know this makes it a pain in the ass for you to make / explain your point, because there's no unit of measurement for wealth (hence why you used money at any given point in time). It just doesn't work that way though.
