Economy isn't a zero-sum game because you create wealth.

Wealth is not a zero sum game. But it is not possible for one person to create a billion dollars of wealth for other people. What creates wealth is actual productive labor, not some kind of vision.

Wealth isn't zero-sum. Your earnings aren't extracted at a cost to someone else.

Explain to me how certain relevant aspects of wealth such as food, housing, energy or not wrecking the planet are not a zero sum game.

Wealth is absolutely a zero sum game depending on how you segment things. Increases in productivity and innovation are not zero sum, but things like land ownership on earth is absolutely zero sum.

Wealth is not a zero-sum game. The whole premise that the rich make money by taking it from poor people is flawed.

This premise has been the basis for many political uprisings (e.g. Venezuela) where wealth has been destroyed instead of created.
