&gt; &quot;only because productivity creates wealth&quot;<p>Does it? For whom does productivity create wealth for?<p>Productivity is about getting set results based on the smallest set of resources (time, money, materials, etc...). It does not include anything about wealth, nor where that wealth is distributed to, or whether resources could have generated more wealth used in a different way. It&#x27;s actually possible for increased productivity to decrease wealth.
