I'm mainly responding to the part of your comment noting jobs created and cheaper goods as an intrinsically net positive ("good") for society. I agree that the free market does not tend to create completely useless jobs, but such jobs can and do exist in a society. Most economies are not simply free markets, many are partly directed or interfered with (depending on your perspective) by governments. This can result in some pointless jobs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make-work_job) or mis-allocation of resources toward less productive work (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solyndra).

Or, let's say the jobs created are for producing more cigarettes and asbestos. Do you think that producing more cigarettes and asbestos, which requires more jobs, is "good" for society?
