Ithinktherearcthreereasonswetreatmakingmoneyasdifferent:themisleadingmodelofwealthwelearnaschildren;thedisreputablewayinwhich,tillrecently,mostfortuneswereaccumulated;andtheworrythatgreatvariationsinincomearesomehowbadforsociety.AsfarasIcantell,thefirstismistaken,thesecondoutdated,andthethirdempiricallyfalse.Coulditbethat,inamodemdemocracy,variationinincomeisactuallyasignofhealth?

WhenIwasfiveIthoughtelectricitywascreatedbyelectricsockets.Ididn'trealizetherewerepowerplantsouttheregeneratingit.Likewise,itdoesn'toccurtomostkidsthatwealthissomethingthathastobegenerated.Itseemstobesomethingthatflowsfromparents.

Becauseofthecircumstancesinwhichtheyencounterit,childrentendtomisunderstandwealth.Theyconfuseitwithmoney.Theythinkthatthereisafixedamountofit.Andtheythinkofitassomethingthat'sdistributedbyauthorities(andsoshouldbedistributedequally),ratherthansomethingthathastobecreated(andmightbecreatedunequally).Infact,wealthisnotmoney.Moneyisjustaconvenientwayoftradingoneform.ofwealthforanother.Wealthistheunderlyingstuff--thegoodsandserviceswebuy.Whenyoutraveltoarichorpoorcountry,youdon'thavetolookatpeople'sbankaccountstotellwhichkindyou'rein.Youcanseewealth--inbuildingsandstreets,intheclothesandthehealthofthepeople.

Wheredoeswealthcomefrom?Peoplemakeit.Thiswaseasiertograspwhenmostpeoplelivedonfarms,andmademanyofthethingstheywantedwiththeirownhands.Thenyoucouldseeinthehouse,theherds,andthegranarythewealththateachfamilycreated.Itwasobviousthentoothatthewealthoftheworldwasnotafixedquantitythathadtobesharedout,likeslicesofapie.Ifyouwantedmorewealth,youcouldmakeit.

Thisisjustastruetoday,thoughfewofuscreatewealthdirectlyforourselves.Mostlywecreatewealthforotherpeopleinexchangeformoney,whichwethentradefortheformsofwealthwewant.Becausekidsareunabletocreatewealth,whatevertheyhavehastobegiventothem.Andwhenwealthissomethingyou'regiven,thenofcourseitseemsthatitshouldbedistributedequally.Asinmostfamiliesitis.Thekidsseetothat."Unfair,"theycry,whenonesibling(兄弟姐妹)getsmorethananother.

Intherealworld,youcan'tkeeplivingoffyourparents.Ifyouwantsomething,youeitherhavetomakeit,ordosomethingofequivalentvalueforsomeoneelse,inordertogetthemtogiveyouenoughmoneytobuyit.Intherealworld,wealthis(exceptforafewspecialistslikethievesandspeculators)somethingyouhavetocreate,notsomethingthat'sdistributedbyDaddy.Andsincetheabilityanddesiretocreateitvaryfrompersontoperson,it'snotmadeequally.

Yougetpaidbydoingormakingsomethingpeoplewant,andthosewhomakemoremoneyareoftensimplybetteratdoingwhatpeoplewant.TopactorsmakealotmoremoneythanB-listactors.
