What is the technical impact on money if I buy a strictly non-productive asset incapable of generating any use-value? Or buy a productive asset and willfully destroy it? I move money from A to B without building wealth. Is “moving money creates wealth” a design assumption?

One perspective is that value of a single unit of a country’s currency equals value of every asset divided by units of currency in circulation. When you destroy productive capacity, value of currency declines by a trillionth (decline is spread out among all units).

Christmas is technically a massive value sacrifice. Just with money instead of burning cattle or whatever. A gift is something you wouldn't have bought for yourself. That means you value it less than the price paid. Value destroyed.
