Isn't that pretty much setting you up to be a non-profit? One would typically have to use a similar "stretched analogy" to turn those few areas you mention into a for-profit company in most cases. I guess in my greedy little capitalist mind, its also worth working on if it solves any problem important enough for people to pay for it. Read "I, Pencil" by Leonard Reed sometime. Its available online for free. http://www.econlib.org/library/Essays/rdPncl1.html http://www.econlib.org/library/Essays/rdPncl1.html Then give some thought to how the invisible hand is really doing your point 3 on such a massive scale across all of society that it enables not only points 1 and 2, but also just about everything else anyone might think is worth working on. Its not a stretch really. Its a natural by-product of people having freedom to choose and pay for the things that are most important to them. If that's what's most important to you then that's great. But that doesn't mean nothing else is worth working on.
