I understand what you are saying about free markets and the ramping up production of scarce items as their price rises.

I am fearing that you may missed my point about free markets not caring about the destruction of biological interdependent chains and that the planet is the less because of this. Economic dynamics don't always work out for environmental dynamics and that is why, in this country anyway, we have regulated markets. We acknowledge that the pricing of goods doesn't always reflect the true cost of such as that price does not take into account the damage to those things that we have judged not to be of economic value--at least in the sort term.
