Only if your God is capitalism.
Not everything is about maximizing profitability. Efficient markets are pretty good at optimizing around steady-state systems, but they are profoundly bad at maintaining readiness for cataclysmic events. Yet cataclysmic events happen and we are obliged to prepare for them.
If we let corporations run everything, they'd sell of our medical stockpiles, build levees exactly one inch above the waterline, and sell all of our weapons to the highest bidder.

I can’t tell if these were intended to be examples of things that have happened? Capitalism is indeed the god, and the atheists and fence sitters find it a bit depressing.
