There's a bottom line a seller can sell something for before they either break even or lose out. No matter how indifferent you are to that commodity, the seller cannot give you the commodity for a value below what it was initially worth, otherwise, they lose out on the deal.

Absolutely nothing capitalist economists predict ever comes true. It enriches the capitalists sure, but in terms of actually doing anything, it doesn't. And when capitalism inevitably does enter crises and their theories turn out to be nonsense, they just blame it on some external entity like "the state" or fact money is backed by gold. They always try to blame it on the fact its not their perfect version of capitalism, when this version has never existed and will never exist. Its just idealism, rather any material science. Its court astrologer blames the clouds for obscuring the stars when his predictions don't come true.
