You guys are comparing a single saturated market to the economy as a whole. That's a category error. New markets are always emerging.

No I'm not -- my comments are limited to saturated markets.

Obviously, one of the ways to get rich is to create a new market and exploit it. But that's probably not as easy as building the better Teriyaki restaurant, judging by how rarely lucrative new markets emerge.
