Then suppose that tomorrow we have Buyer's Remorse. We no longer value the Boots or the Software. Has the amount of Wealth in the universe suddenly decreased? Suppose we never Traded, we just suddenly lost interest in the Boots I own and the Software you own. Has the amount of Wealth in the universe suddenly decreased? I already covered that: When the residents of Beverly Hills decided to sell all their stuff cheap and move to Benares and buy Holy Relics (because they no longer valued their Material stuff), did the amount of Wealth in the universe suddenly decrease?
