I use ‘value’ in terms of the ‘process’ by which wealth is created–it is a flow. This flow of course results in actual things, whether tangible (a loaf of bread) or intangible (new knowledge). ‘Wealth’ instead is regarded as a cumulative stock of the value already created. The book focuses on value and what forces produce it–the process. But it also looks at the claims around this process, which are often phrased in terms of ‘who’ the wealth creators are.
