I think I have a very different idea of what "exactly" means; I would expect set equality, but at best you're using it to describe a massive superset.

Modern financial system is the single greatest invention in the history of man for pushing resources towards things like "crop harvesting efficiency, new medicines, etc"

  • My point is that it also pushes quite a bit of resources towards things that are not nearly as useful as those, so claiming it's "exactly that" is like claiming that animals in a zoo with tusks are "exactly" the walruses that they have and ignoring all of elephants in the room.
