Quoting The Buddha?
Isn't "lighting a thousand candles off a single candle" a great model for a functioning economic system.
The pie model limits the economy to a static quantity where the candle metaphor has unlimited potential for growth and everyone who offers a candle can live in the light.
In the candle model there is no need to "redistribute" candles in order for everyone to share in the light.
In the economic metaphor the candle is your labor.
