You're telling me that if, for example, a group of people decided ordinary dirt had a high degree of value to them, and started paying people to dig up dirt and deliver it to them, these actions would help the economy?

The point is that new techniques and technologies developed to do something wholly unproductive don't help the economy. I'm not ignoring what Rynar said.


As a civil engineer, I have to tell you - good dirt is extremely valuable.

Human labor is the only thing that has value, absolutely everything else is designed to facilitate folks exchanging whatever value they feel their labor is worth for whatever they desire.

If those other things did not have inherent value, a natural economic structure built around exchanging labor for those things never would have materialized.
