It goes to a serious flaw of Laissez Faire economics. It has too optimistic an Enlightenment view of human rationality, thinking that in a completely free market, rational decisions will be made. Just ain't so. Rationality is a difficult human achievement and often unobtainable. Too many stupid decision in a free market can undermine a whole society.
