Default Re: Wealth is Relative

[ QUOTE ]
Wealth, like other descriptors, is a purely relative measure.


[/ QUOTE ]

No, it isnt. Wealth is not a descriptor, nor is it relative. Wealth is a real thing that is created and destroyed, produced and consumed via economic activity. Items of wealth are products that satisfy our desires. One man's wealth is a bentley, another man's is a fishing rod his Dad gave him - they are in no way relative.

[ QUOTE ]
It shares this quality with adjectives like "big," "tall," and "bright," among others.


[/ QUOTE ]

No, it doesn't. These are adjectives. Wealth is a noun.
