But someone who happens to have money to buy a bread pays a far too high price. And the poor fellows without money are doomed to starve, thanks to villains who take advantage of the situation. Since we belong to that culture we consider such a behaviour as normal, even as a justified activity. And up till today we call it legal trade. To some extend we are right, namely insofar on the long run the consequence is that all kinds of goods become available for everyone.
Trade is impossible without distribution of goods.
And it is also impossible when there are no buyers. So the results are positive. Yet as long as mankind is not full-grown a number of sly egoists is able to do so, indeed with the approval of the others who try to do the same when they get the chance. When more life essentials become available a decrease of values to an acceptable level takes place, but still the underlying motive for producing those goods are the profits one hopes to gain. Making those profits is only possible by preserving the system of values and that is only possible when there resists an artificial shortage of goods.
