On. Yu. Mamedov. Modern economics (№ 464043)

The desire for personal gain is the inalienable right of every participant in a market economy: only under this condition does it have a market character. A participant in market production always acts for his own economic benefit. There is no need to teach anyone the desire to act in the interests of one’s own benefit, because this is a natural motive for human behavior. An individual acting contrary to his economic benefit is, of course, an anomaly for a market economy.
