It is also unclear to me that a real-market entity is a good thing simply because it produces “real” things. Many sincere people work hard solving real problems and creating real products and services that customers use. Unfortunately, many of those products and services are arguably, bad for the world. From cigarettes to addictive junk food to television programming that panders and enslaves, the real market is hardly a cornucopia of humanity-elevating production. Indeed, some of these things are worse than hedge funds, which is saying a lot.
