>> To believe the tribal notion that a "collective good" exists makes you more akin to the dear Evil Emile that you probably suspect.<<

Adam Smith, the great philosopher of the free market, strongly believed that the free market resulted in the collective good.

There is an inevitable tension between the individual good and the collective good. Both exist and neither can exist apart from the other. Neither can exist free of conflict from the other.
