    “valuable goods … benefiting everyone” not on the cost of others is what’s lacking here

      valuable goods … benefiting everyone

      If other people are buying what you produce, in almost every case you produce something valuable, and a person who buys from you benefits.

      There are exceptions - drugs, weapons, slot machines ect.

      But basically everything you see around yourself that was made by man, was produced by a successful business, and bought by somone who needed it.

          not on the cost of others

          It’s not on the cost of others, its a fair exchange. Both sides benefit

            And the people in the middle? Sure, the people exploited for the production of those goods benefited a lot. The child forced to harvest coffee and chocolate really enjoyed the transaction.
