Wealth, as seen by the Reality Goggles, is a compressed form of the net work done by other individuals (we are omitting the person possessing the wealth because he is the one to be discussed). (In practice, the net work compressed in a piece of wealth can be estimated by tracing the hours of work that went into it at every stage, i.e. from its raw material to its final form, along with the expertise that each of these hours required.)
Wealth consists of money, real estate, food reserves, livestock, crops etc. (with money being one of the most highly compressed and mobile forms).
