"Society" is a construct greater than the sum of its components. Individually we may not care, but the society cares. The market is also a construct greater than the addition of individual choices, it doesn't behave to the benefits of all who partake in it, it behaves to the benefit to those in power [who have the greatest spending power].
"Working just fine" is a moral judgment you're making, which would be "just fine" in an amoral society (this being a contradiction proving that "morality" exists, "amorality" being one of its possible states).

I do agree that it might be skewed. But I believe there is a sufficiently large middle class that can still drive creativity in the right places if it was so inclined.
