That isn't true. Otherwise when the wheels come off (recession/depression) then the market would never recover as it's "just a Ponzi scheme". there is real value in the market and until some communist or anarchist can provide a reasonable solution that doesn't depend on the general human being altruistic 100% of the time I'll just keep going with the market and count on avarice. I'll trust in the general sense of fairness that most humans seem to have even if they aren't altruistic.
