"The market" is people. You just said that people don't care about good or evil. I submit that this is an exaggeration.

In philosophy, systems theory, science, and art, emergence is a process whereby larger entities, patterns, and regularities arise through interactions among smaller or simpler entities that themselves do not exhibit such properties.

The market is not people, nor was it ever about people. It is about money and capital, and capital is not governed by moral principles.

Oh the market is about people when it commoditizes them, and that just makes the consequences even less moral.

A comment phrasing it as "market is people", and then comment about commoditizing... it reminds me of Soylent Green, which also is people. ;).
