Cui bono...... Follow the money................
Ultimately, yes.
Money is the best way to organize society.
It gives the actual consumer the power and sets demand correctly, thinks in terms of ROI, manages risk well, holds people and business accountable through a bottom line. It promotes innovation and productivity.
There is always a “but” after such a statement. Today we have monopolies and oligopolies reminiscent of when the this nation had Robber Barron’s in big pharma, the media and tech: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robber_baron_(industrialist).
Today have markets that are skewed by heavy government influence either through their selective spending (Google was catapulted in the lead that way, 32% of all money in health care is federal) or regulation. When government decides what car you should buy (Biden’s EV policy), Obama decided trans folks get sex changes paid for by insurance, and the EPA controls what lightbulb you get to buy and how much water a toilet may use per flush, can we really still talk about a “free market” or economy?
Finally and probably the worst of all, when a society has no moral underpinning anymore, when those cultural attributes which make a society thrive become obstacles, when right and wrong has been replaced with situational dependent ethics which are inconsistent, you can get some grotesque outcomes: late term abortions, puberty blockers for teens...
I don’t want to sound like a doom and gloom type, but I guess I am on this issue. IMHO at best, a Trump represents a short little reprieve from a social and long term economic decline, where occasionally you get a Reagan that slows or temporarily reverses things, but we then have 5 Presidents in between that do no more than manage this decline because nihilism and hedonism sell well to the masses and you now have this idea of enterprise and making money, but without any true morals (example: Amazon).
