Some efforts at organizing those resources, namely investment efforts, effectively increase those resources by increasing talents or technology, or by creating new spaces (such as conquering the wild west or building an internet), and those efforts may be government-ally organized or privately organized or both.

My point is just that "new spaces" are not created by investment efforts, but existing wealth is conquered. If europeans would have rented land from indigenous people, they would have gained the same resources. But they did not recognize the political privileges of indians. Whereas within european governmental framework such privileges are untouchable.
