> The only one who can answer that question is the free market. And while not satisfying for everybody, it certainly is the best answer we found so far while trying various forms of organisations with this humankind of ours.
I do not agree with you.
First of all because "the free market" is so vague as to be capable of encompassing a huge variety of economic arrangements with wildly different outcomes. Secondly because it absolutely was not "the only one that got us fed" - any sufficiently long read of history will make that clear. Thirdly, because it is far from clear what the role of the ill-defined "free market" has been in the development of magic devices connected to the freaking cloud. Involved? Probably? Responsible? I'd say probably not.
But it's fine, I'm not trying to convince you. We just don't see the world in the same way.
