The difference between the music industry, the computer industry, and the healthcare/medical industies is an amazing array of evergrowing ethical concerns wrapped up in the products and services that may determine life/death/disability/ability. There will always be vulnerable populations in need of care. There so many issues beyond economic capitalism. There has been talk on other threads describing some cultures as being more "advanced". How does life expectancy and quality of health figure into that?
Thinking about the housing and food industries, yes, two essentials of life - their markets have contributed undeniably to some more long term glitches with more issues to come - Housing:sprawl, shoddy but quick construction, resource waste, environmental impact and Food: GMO's, monoculture, also environmental impact.
Its such a balancing act.
