Money a collective self saves and puts in markets for all its members together, making its boundary wider so the whole group reads as keeping it.

Sovereign wealth (noun) means: Money a collective self saves and puts in markets for all its members together, making its boundary wider so the whole group reads as keeping it. It emerges from collective self, boundary, money, save: Money that would belong to no one member is kept as the group's own and made to grow, so the collective self holds wealth the way one person would.
