Wealth as “Know-how”:
"tools and energy mastery?
"We will also have to recognize that Robinson Crusoe’s wealth was limited due to his enforced imprisonment on an island seemingly devoid of eother humans and with whom he might pro-create further life. If we recognize the built-in drives and selective functioning of humans, we will concede that the more freedom and the greater tooled energy at his command, the further and the more swiftly could the individual travel and the greater the opportunity thereby derived to increase or regenerate both his ‘know-how’ for dealing with forward evolutionary events and for meeting the individual of opposite sex most favorably and logically suited to marriage and their mutual regeneration and forwarding of human life.
“Thus we begin to discern that wealth may be at least partially defined as our energy-mastering, tool-organized capability to cope effectively and healthfully with our forward life regenerating and protecting and physically advantaging needs and development with ever increasing degrees of freedom and without gaining advantage through the disadvantaging of another human.”
