People conflate money and value / wealth. We can individually create things of value: food, art, services, inventions, shelter. There is no practical upper bound. Money is a medium of exchange from one to another. Having more money in the system means it’s easier to get bandwidth to transfer that data between interested parties. Without it, you are inefficiently bartering to exchange value.
Value existed long before money, and its potential for creation is not dependent on it.
