I think there is a third category that fits here. Wealth hoarders. Static wealth is not the same thing as capitalist holdings, capital is resources that build income, jobs, and produce goods and services. The wealth working capital produces is reinvested in more capital and that benefits all segments of society. Wealth hoarders sit like Smaug on piles of potential capital and do nothing productive. Regarding religion, have you browsed the financial status of the world’s largest churches? Have you seen the Mormon temple in Salt Lake City? Meanwhile religious institutions idolize men like Jesus? All I can say is choose a dogma, stick close to the actual teachings, and practice what you preach.

I like that distinction between the “static wealth” and the more liquid wealth like currency holdings. I agree that the the building of stores and companies is wealth producing for citizenry but I reach a wall when I think about the unbelievable wealth churches like the Vatican have amassed.

Still learning. I appreciate your take.
