What the market will bear.
When someone uses my equipment to get their work done, pays me a fee for the assist, no one finds that immoral or unethical. That person rented something they needed. As long as they need it, they pay rent.
How is money any different?
It is different because when someone uses equipment to do something, they are actually doing something. A tangible thing is produced that could be useful to somebody in some way.
if someone is making money simply because they have money, nothing is actually produced.
Just imagine how absurd a country would be if it was composed purely of moneylenders lending their money back and forth on interest. Not a single farmer. The gdp might even be impressive! But everyone starves.
