I do generally agree, but capital can really distort fair competition in the long run. A large investment can be used to sell products at unsustainable prices until competitors go out of business, before jacking them up for the now-captive market. Classic predatory pricing.

It’s often the case that this is harmful to the market in the long term.

I agree. My objection is to amelius, whose claim seems to be that money is automatically or inherently unfair (as opposed to your statement, which is that it can be used that way).
