So we should all surender all of our rights and beliefs on the altar of The Economy


That's one thing that bugs the shit out of me about the effective altruism crowd.

If everyone justifies acting like a capitalist monster, so then they can use their gains to do good things...

... then the end result is the entire economy controlled by monsters, always. (Plus a bunch of wealthy retirees playing charity)
