Complimentary Cash in a Fantasy Casino: "Real wealth is neither having more money, nor having higher priced stocks. Real wealth is accumulated capital - buildings, tools, factories…and the skills to know how to use them. Wealth can be money too - but only if the money represents real, useful capital. In Zimbabwe, they've got their Zim dollars up the wazoo. But the real capital in the country is fast disappearing - stolen, destroyed, neglected, redistributed, consumed or exported. Under these conditions, increases in stock prices are empty; the stock market in Harare has become a kind of fantasy casino, where people can pretend to get rich by betting against each other."
It reads like what is happening here, except we call it outsourcing,
I was thinking about the difference between wealth, prosperity and riches. And how it relates to what is discussed in the scriptures.
I realized that I didn't have a good definition of wealth and here is one delivered right to my inbox.
The scriptures are replete with all kinds of stories and parables about prosperity and riches and financial matters.
God obviously wants us to prosper as the promise in Malachi shows, but he warns us of the pursuit of riches which can destroy us as it did the Nephites.
How we define wealth can often make the real difference between prosperity and riches.
