The Rich Concentrate wealth, they don't "create" itReader comment on item: Why I Am Not a Populist Submitted by Raul Marks (United States), Dec 9, 2019 at 17:41 Most of the rich concentrate wealth, they aren't actually creating money out of thin air. For example, Jeff Bezos has concentrated the wealth he has. That money was already in the circulation (ie the economy), its simply changing hands from old school retailers (Walmart, Target, Macy's, Nordstrom, etc) to Amazon. Thats not really wealth creation.

Bezos has provided extraordinary retail services that the competitors you list did not; try Amazon's two-hour grocery delivery if you have not done so yet. He has created efficiences and services that translate into wealth. Reader comments (24) on this item
