... Investments are factored into the calculation of and thus contribute to the gross domestic products, (i.e. GDPs).
Transfers of wealth do not create additional products and ARE NOT factored into the calculation of and thus ARE NOT contributors to the GDPs.
i.e. "investments" are purchases of "big products", e.g. "plant / property / equipment" (or partial purchases, i.e. "shares") ?
"transfers of wealth" are "compulsory gifts" (for the "needy-but-politically-powerful") ?
