Just so that I understand this point - I got the misanthropy and elitism crax - what are you defining as 'productive resources'? (Whose definition for 'productive resources'?)

I got this far -

PRODUCTIVE RESOURCES are the natural, human, and capital resources that are used to produce goods and services.

Example: Some of the productive resources used to make a candy bar are soil, water, sunshine (natural); buildings, trucks, machinery (capital); and truck drivers and assembly line workers (human).

It seems a pretty common method for transferring capital and human resources. And the natural resources seem fairly equally distributed. So I'm missing some point here.
