Joe Strummer was the lead singer and chief song writer for the Clash. Whether you like the music or not (I do), he was an innovator who created wealth, and improved the well being of many, from members of the band, to workers for the record label, to concert venue operators, ticket takers, poster printers, T-shirt makers, bar owners, liquor makers, rolling paper makers, and so on and so forth.
Eating caviar, driving flash cars and displaying Italian marble also increases the well being of many, including caviar farmers, caviar sellers, flash car makers, flash car mechanics, chauffeurs, Italian marble sculptors, and so on and so forth.
Squatters in abandoned residential property also increase the well being of many, including utility generators and neighborhood police, and so on and so forth. Even baseball bat makers and baseball bat sellers get ahead.
All voluntary economic activity is to the good for somebody, a lot of somebodies. |
