Economic reasons to go to space are reasons that are about space ventures resulting in more value on earth.
If you mine things in space it might help you to build more stuff on earth if the materials would be a constraint. It doesn’t help you if the materials are no meaningful constraint on building on earth.
The difference between economic reasons and altruistic reasons is that economic reasons are about people participating in the economic exchange gaining value.
That means people on earth that expand resources that go into space need to get value in return.
Yes, but a person on Earth can create value in space that they obtain by moving into space. An example would be low gravity retirement communities paid for by the retirees.
