Guess again.

With MLM, there is no limit to the number of participants - a willing purchaser can always "buy one." There is no such thing as "we can't sell you one because we don't have any more." Also note that it is entirely possible to create an entire MLM pyramid without any participant selling any of the products the MLM is actually proposing to sell. Now, go back to your econ 101 textbook and answer one simple question for me. What is the price (economic value) of a commodity for which there is an infinite supply?

ZERO.

Therefore, an infinite number of MLM membership sales would increase the economy of the system containing the transactions by exactly ZERO. Let's not confuse the economic quackery that is MLM with the infinitely more dignified, GNP increasing Tupperware party.
