There's a school of thought that says if there's a market for something then a manufacturer must make it.

Fender is a good example. If someone want's a relic custom shop guitar then Fender is almost obligated to manufacture it. And if the demand is such that folks are willing to pay thousands then Fender must charge thousands.

I couldn't elaborate on that without getting political and this ain't the place for politics. :P


Basic supply-and-demand principles, straight out of Econ 101.

Nothing "political" about it at all.

Not just supply-and-demand, although that is the overall concept. I am referring more specifically to the idea that business is morally obliged to maximize profit. At the other extreme is the belief that non-profits are inherently immoral. There are compelling arguments and it does get increasingly political.
