    If I bring in more resources and lower the price, then suddenly people can have more stuff with the same amount of money

    And lower the price…

    Exactly, you’re not creating wealth, you’re lowering the price of a resource

    You literally just said it yourself

      Wealth is not money, as the concept of inflation demonstrates. It is the stuff money represents. If you create more of that, you’re creating more wealth.
