Do you think it's false? Because unless you don't get it i'm not sure i'm interested in formulating logically a trivia.

And it's not always a problem. When is it not, only if it's balanced by making a plus-value on that work. And of course if its done within some ethical rules. (For exemple no slavery.) That plus-value is what's better for moderately rich people who can create jobs and services without the problems that most very rich creates...

I think all the services you quoted would have been implemented either way. Some like cars for example might have been at the expense of better ways. An exemple is how, in the us, highways replaced the railroad system for profit.

In general, the way they implemented those solutions was through corruption like that and unethical work condition. (And it goes beyond the service they got rich on, to what they are doing currently too)

Moreover this idea of selling things at the (highest) price people are willing to buy is a great factor in creating many of thoses problems.

It's the same logic that makes work conditions unethical. That includes using worker in other countries wich conditions are literally considered unethical in the country the goods are sold. But to a lesser degree also the bad conditions of work in many field.

Taking healthcare as a exemple, how do you expect a nurse to sell her work at a higher price. If you want a nurse to give the best service to society or even be ethical, you can't raise the price?

So it goes either way, either healthcare become expensive. Or like in my country, it's free, but the conditions becomes worse and worse. Both being bad for society.

So maybe not the goal, but a goal of society is to distribute those resources correctly. Simply because it's necessary for us to live together.
