Problem 27

Introduction

The entire value of all valued assets is an individual's, society's, industry's, or nation's wealth. Deducting all debts from the total market valuation of all physical and non-physical things held, wealth is computed. The accumulation of limited resources is what wealth is all about. Individuals, corporations, and countries are called rich when they are able to accumulate a great number of valuable resources or commodities. Wealth is distinct from revenue in that it is a collection rather than a stream, and it can be measured in relative or absolute proportions.
