Take the wealth created by the society, divide by number of members. If it's more than zero, then yes, the average member of society creates wealth.


There is no "wealth created by the society". Society as a whole does not create wealth, it's individual members do.


Ok, so sum the individual contributions and divide by number of individuals.

I disagree, but perhaps you have a different definition of wealth.


"Ok, so sum the individual contributions and divide by number of individuals." - why would you ever do that?
