A Malaise Speech for the Current Time

Wealth is capital. Capital is that which when combined with labor and resources produces economic output. Such output is in the form of both goods AND services.

So you are partly right, a more accurate statement would be "wealth is only created when one creates the capital (means of production) needed to produce goods and services."
