Unlike anything else humans have invented, commerce is inherently good. I call it "good" because it is designed to automatically use human skills to circumvent efforts at commercial suppression.
That is why a person in prison can buy virtually anything he wants. Commerce is designed to circumvent restrictions.
The goal of industrial commerce (one of three forms of commerce) is to reduce costs. That means human ingenuity becomes highly refined and rewarded in commerce.
The object of trade (another form of commerce) is to carry out each transaction with sufficient resources to repeat the transaction. That means there will be some price at which a transaction will be carried out.
I am thinking of the current environment that is hostile to commerce. The Democrat-Union Party with its 18th-century tribal ideology is unusually powerful in the United States right now. Nevertheless, products and businesses already established in the market have shown that consumers exist to demand these products. Therefore it is virtually impossible to suppress them. Someone will repeat their success.
The government would have a great deal of difficulty taking away smart phones, Internet service or talk radio. Because each of these is established as a market they act as proof to new entrants that the market exists.
The same is true for hybrid automobile engines and is just as true for the extraordinary variety of invented foods sold by Trader Joe's.
Once people in the commercial world know how to create a product or service and know it has a market it is very hard to suppress that commerce.
