that holds true under capitalism for sure. for socialism the benefits to society weigh in against profits and change the equation a bit

for instance, things like medications in China do not reach unaffordable levels like they do in the US because the social good they provide is very high, so the profit margins are extremely low. USians end up paying 5x the price for the same drugs because in the US everything is driven by profit and ONLY profit
