Yeah. Money does get recycled, and some, invested in something that increases productivity, say a tractor for the farm, instead of an armoured vehicle for defence, increases wealth quicker. Unfortunately without that armoured vehicle we may all be gobbled up by a neighbour with bad intentions. A balance between many things seems what keeps us going forward. The hard part seems to agree on the balance.

Personally I found that there is enough opportunity in areas which improve things, work against poverty, environmental destruction etc, that this is what I focus on.
