I think that's one school of thought but I firmly disagree. I happen to believe philosophically and practically that as the population grows, as new ideas and inventions are fomented and developed, and as new investments from gov't and private firms occur, that pie continues to grow.

The pie grows and shrinks over time. But at any given moment the pie is a finite number, divided between a finite number of people. The economy throws off a specific amount of excess cash flow... who gets what % is the issue.


Yes, percentage is the key, but there is always the question of when does that excess cash become part of the overall pie. That's why I tend to see the pie as more organic, more fluid over time.
