Point missed.<p>It&#x27;s not that any one product is being produced. &quot;Capital&quot; (or profit or wealth) here is the combined market aggregate of <i>all</i> production. The problem is that this too, as with any single optima process, leads to madness.<p>In the case of capitalism, ecternalities, equity&#x2F;equality, sustainability, and systemic global risk are all undervalued, and simple short-term profit maximisation tends strongly to &quot;underproduce&quot; these.
