Hello
Oh and to answer your question, I don't think capitalism is a zero sum game.
If a company buys $30 worth of wood, nails, and sandpaper and turns it into a boat worth $100 (with skills and expertise), they have essentially created some new positive value for the economy. The person who purchased the boat couldn't have done the same thing him/herself if he/she simply bought the $30 worth of raw materials (which is why he/she is willing to pay $100 for it).
The boat is not worth just the sum of its parts.
