I create relatively detailed campaigns with pre-existing laws, cultures, factions, NPCs, etc etc. But I've NEVER thought of EVERYTHING prior to the PCs sitting down at a table (I know some DMs perhaps have and kudos to them, I just don't have that kind of time.) But yes, the power should be exercised with caution. In the case of players finding ways to say cheat NPCs with spells, or other get rich quick schemes, the DM should, IMO feel free to exercise even more control as that's just not what the game is usually about (unless as mentioned the group decided they wanted to focus on this.). DnD is fairly item dependent as far as power levels go and allowing characters to sit around an Inn, roll a few dice and come up with some scheme for vast sums of money without adventuring could ultimately spoil the game if you are playing a classic adventure/combat focused type of game.</blockquote>
