Modern laissez faire capitalists don't care ethics.
My memory of learning about "Wealth of Nations" style capitalism is there was an idea that people produce goods and services that other people find useful. So when they trade, both buyer and seller benefit. As opposed to scalpers, who interpose themselves between the two to the detriment of both the buyer and seller, and benefit only to the scalper.
Modern capitalist don't care if they make everything worse, only that someone is making money.
