Nope. Wealth and capital are clearly consumed by purchasing goods and services that do no lead to greater wealth. There is a reason consumer goods aren't considered to be assets. Buying a video game != buying a tool that can be used to increase one's productivity this income. One makes you poorer. The other makes you wealthier.

I don't. However there are numerous examples of goods and services that can be purchased and be used to create wealth greater than their cost. Few are available in retail outlets however.
