When Value is defined as "more money", then this will happen.
Money often functions as a lack of efficiency and is prone to re-produce itself.
For example: if cancer was cured with a pill, forever, the total revenue from curing cancer is pill sales price * people born, which would be less than current treatment costs.
The problem is that technological disruptions like this pose a threat to the economy as it is organised and run today. In particular, modern economy cannot cope with unemployment. The masses of laid-off people would either have to engage in yet more pointless jobs, or "disrupt" the social order. This is very unlikely to increase efficiency overall.

Maybe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_National_Happiness isn't such a bad idea.
