Comment on Why don't harvesting economies make as much money as manufacturing or service economies?

By harvesting, I assume you mean things like agriculture? If you are, then the reason is simple, supply, and demand, and the expectations of such goods being cheap. It is the water-diamond paradox, why is water so cheap in a lot of places compared to diamonds when you can’t eat or drink diamonds necessary for life. Life is unfair. That’s just life.
