Do you agree that real wealth is acquired from honesty?

I believe that wealth is reflected from discipline...by working hard and knowing its infinite value..but sad to know that more people only knew wealth by the possession it shows..Wearing pricey things to look rich but can hardly afford it. brag around like a walking lie 🤐

I disagree entirely.
Might have been true a couple of hundred years ago but certainly not now.
These days companies get successful and then put all kinds of barriers in the way to prevent others from taking a similar idea, improving on the very thing they've created, and selling a better product/service as a result.

Things like copyright law and patent registry are so ambiguous in many sectors people fall foul of them all the time in their quest to see their own ideas come to fruition.

All that and we haven't even touched on the lobbying of businesses and politicians who have power to ensure the failure of anything/one they find threatening to their power base.
