Wealth governs the distribution of product, not the quantity of product. Reassign 100% of the wealth of the infirm to the able, and discover that the labor of the able does not change.

“Dependency Ratio” is an iron law.

But have a system that reassigns 100% of the production from the able to the infirm and you will quickly have little production.
