I wasn’t claiming that most of the GDP is the production of staple goods. I did at one point claim that by the time your subgraph is large enough to produce a broad range of staple goods, it’s probably around the size and complexity of the ecomonomy of a large country. But I agree that that would be a very boring country, that produced no fine cheese, wine, or art.
