Wealth creation is not a zero sum game.

Except directly stealing - wealth is created.

For example — even if all the profits from oil on earth goes to few pockets it is still benefitial for the world.

Because those pockets still gonna spend those money one way or another and contribute to economy growth eventually.

This is how Russia was flourishing on 2000s - oil profits mostly wen to putin's gang, but ordinary people quality of life still grew substantially.
