MODERATORS

Food cannot be conjured from nothing. This is the first of the five exceptions to Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration.
Good luck freeing the money supply from the monuments to Antisemitism.
I think you'll find that magic in Harry Potter is a little more like AI is today. The books strongly imply that conjured or transfigured items are not permanent or are of inferior quality. Reparo can fix a broken object, but it doesn't upgrade it. Ron is constantly getting hand-me-downs. Magic can maintain these things, but it can't magically generate the money to buy new, better-quality items.
So? They can wave their dick around and automate household chores, but can't automate a farm?
Huh?
What's preventing the Wesley's from automating cotton production and weaving? Or having magical sheers and knitting needles that make clothes on their own?
What's preventing them from yelling Alahu Akbar in a fireplace and becoming the most profitable shipping company in the world?
The whole magic world is the equivalent of that Turk who invented the steam engine and only used it to spin kebabs.
The industrial revolution should have stopped at kebabs
I assure you kebabs didn't need the industrial revolution they just took what was good and discarded the rest. We'd still be eating kebabs regardless.
edit: in fact some consequences of industrial society on the kebab include the creation of the electrical meat cutter that destroys the meat and is completely unnecessary if you learn how to cut kebab with a proper knife / sword, leading to new generations of kebab producer who don't even know their own trade and craft, and of kebab consumers who don't know what they've lost.
