It's all "for now." Eventually we will exhaust the Earth's resources and possibly become enslaved by a race of artificial intelligence, but I'm not pretending to even think about solutions to those problems. It'd also be cheaper to have slaves, but we don't do that either. The ends do not justify the means. In order for capitalism to be effective at increasing standard-of-living across the board and allocate resources and capital efficiently, it must be tempered with rules that set limits on what avenues are pursued for profit.
