This morning, I started with a cloudy day and we were enjoying our morning tea with rusks. The weather turned better and it started raining.
I was amazed to observe the cycle of rains resulting in great crops in the field. I admired the cycle of nature – sun’s energy along with water and the natural force of plants, produces so much for humanity.
The thoughts further created a question – What is wealth and how did it get created?
1. All wealth is created by nature.
2. Nature creates wealth through agriculture and minerals. There is no other way to create primary wealth.
3. Trading of this primary wealth by multiple transactions creates secondary wealth.
4. Secondary wealth surplus gets invested into building safety and home conveniences.
5. Secondary wealth surplus invested in education, research and innovation have created multiple technologies resulting in various professions and industries. Each profession and industry then started driving Tertiary wealth.
This means all the wealth in the world gets created by farming and mineral extraction from Mother Nature. The irony is that today a farmer is the most poor of this chain while all wealth is residing in the hands of ‘Value adders’.
I need your help in building on this hypothesis.
