I wonder about that, actually. I think it’s quite likely that there is a literally finite amount of wealth, but a functionally infinite amount of wealth; that there is no actual scarcity.

We have to throw away food, waste water, and leave perfectly livable homes empty in order to maintain the illusion of scarcity, all so that billionaires can maintain their hoards.
