>>your post depressed me terribly, especially given the nature of the general season we're in.<< why?? >>when did it become our goal as individuals and as a society and as a species to try and maximize "wealth creation"? << I don't think of wealth creation as ever being and end, but more a by-product of systems closer to a free market -- social cooperation leads to more benefits for everyone and all?? But many systems which exhibit some sort of top down control, supposedly are aiming at increasing social welfare and fail miserably, i.e. managing the money supply. Funny that a lot of things in life are like that -- good is obtained when it is not necessarily being "aimed" at, but when undue effort or emphasis is placed on that obtaining that good, it gets wings and flies away. I was jsut rambling about the definition: wealth creation --I stuck to economic terms, but there are still more ways to define it, I suppose.
