The idea of predators and prey unintentionally benefiting each other for selfish reasons is a lot like the idea of customers and corporations benefiting each other for selfish reasons.
People who come across this idea usually use it as an argument for why this model of economics is right. Personally, I think this is an argument for why this model of nature is wrong. Indirect benefit to other prey doesn’t matter to the prey who get eaten, and indirect benefit to wealthier customers doesn’t matter to poor people.
