The thing is the crteria upon which you will determine if an economic system or philosophy is good or not.
We might find an agreement where I understand that if I want too much of my good, inflicting too much bad on you, will motivate you to do bad things to me ; and vice versa. Your ability to do bad things to me, my ability to do bad things to you, is the collateral we put up to find a mutually beneficial agreement.I think it is the fundamental property of conscious beings, because conscious beings experience joy (good) and suffering (bad), so they optimize their actions for maximal good and minimal bad.
Society (as a whole) is not a conscious being. So there's no such thing as "good for society" and if ever there were, society will have to decide for itself, against me (and against you).
Consciousness of consequences of bad and good action on other is necessary to have any viable society/economy.

It's what predatory economy fail to integrate in their schema
Even amazon ceo made good article on how 100% selfish motivation never improve economy. Because having more poor underdeveloped people never bring economic growth. Having more educated and competent persons does. And free market often tend to skip this. And you can say he is not a socialist.
