I don't buy everything Kurzweil says but your post makes some interesting points which show it makes sense to take an economic approach rather than what I'd call the accounting type approach I see a lot of the doom and gloom people taking.

For example, accounting tells us that the net worth of the company is the sum of the equity capital raised and the retained (comprehensive) profits. Not even adjusted for inflation... very backward looking. Not necessarily much of an indication of what a company is really worth. But many are still concerned about price to book ratios etc.
