The argument(s) are not circular. But you must come clean about what
your goal and objectives are.
1. Man seeks to fulfill his wants (needs and desires) with as little
discomfort (labor, abstinence, etc) as possible.
This is why we plan and organize and develop real capital.
2. If a concentration of power in the hands of a few promotes the
well being of the vast majority more than a wider distribution of
power then such concentration is appropriate within the science
of economics.
For most of us, however, this is like claiming that being
well fed in prison is better than freedom.
It has to do with the meaning of wealth:
