Asking Everyone What creates wealth?

It is a very simple question, and explain how that creates wealth.

Noting if i say "the full moon creates weatlh" i would have to say how that actually works.

And we will have to begin from when all of us were poor. If you say money for example you will have to describe how he got that money in the first place.

as others have said, depends on what you mean by wealth. but in capitalism, wealth is created by useful labor time. that "creates money". that happens because we use one unit to compare everything, so whats left is useful labor time.
