how should the world’s economy develop? what companies should be developed? how should the profit be distributed? should it be illegal for companies to make a profit at all?
(note that i think that it is generally unavoidable that some companies make some profit, the grey area on the image of the supply-demand diagram (or rather quantity-price diagram) is the profit, and that would only be zero if all companies have exactly the same production costs per unit.)
What’s misleading? I think it follows pretty clearly from what I said that if you are worried about the ethics of companies you invest in then you shouldn’t invest in broad index funds like BlackRock makes.
I don’t understand what you mean by boundary conditions.
