Nathan Lamb · Answer 1

The time when the pursuit of profit benefits a market is:

2) as long as self-interest is limited by regulation

Explanation:

The reason behind this answer is: the pursuit of profit is the action of trading an item that increases in value at a sustained rate of demand. Very often it is overpriced and the fee paid for it is no longer rational. So, to benefit the market it has to follow this statement: 2) as long as self-interest is limited by regulation. The reason behind is because the market can be manipulated by a party and engulf buyers to it to sell them the product at a higher price after a bubble has been created on it. Like the tulip bubble.
