Does the amount increase, or just change hands?

    The amount of supply and demand is always changing. As people create value, and create more people, money mediates the trading of supply and demand.

    It is not zero sum and unchanging. If there is a global bumper year for agriculture, more value is produced. If there is a big natural disaster, value is lost. Demand also changes – mostly increases.

    I’m not an economist and just making this shit up.
