Is market value the only important thing?

That's the world we've built. It's not a world for humans.

In a market-driven economy, yes sadly.

Not everything is about the economy. Even when you have a market-driven economy I'd say most things that people value aren't even represented by the economy.

Yes, which is the biggest issue of our time. Fixing climate change runs afoul of what the markets want, so it isn't done and the problem gets worse.
