  • At first first glance that just seems lile growth, but the very act of selling it involves a 3rd party. The profit made on the sale isnt directly based on a good or service produced, but the promise that they will collect more money than they put in for the business.

Ita a system of making money without actually working yourself. Its more nuanced than that and it has its pros and cons, but this is a lemmy comment and im just some guy
