You mentioned government interference, so lets go there. Look at the deed to your house. The grants you that land for $1 plus additional considerations and you pay annual rent in taxes for government wealth (paid to contrcution companies who build wealth by doing so) in the form of roads and water and sewage systems. You buy stuff because inventors have patents from the goverment so they can enforce their ownership rights. You have life saving drugs because drug makers used research funded by the government. This Internet thing? The web was originally a project called DARPANET. I saw it when I was a AF civil servant before the graphics, back in 86. Look at your money. Government scrip. The fact that you can accumulate wealth comes in part because your parents have or had government retirement. Every fly? Odds are the jet you flew was first developed as an AF tanker. Like eating? Goverment price floors make sure there is a surplus of basic staples.
