For the most part, Economists don't actually think in terms of homo-economicus, though they might employ that logic from time to time.  The Health Care- Car market example is somewhat of a head scratcher for the reason that even some one with a modicum of economic knowledge can tear that one down. 

Yes the economist I have discussed potential privatised healthcare with, begins to use words like "market failure" and "moronic Austrians/Chicagoans". Of course we can thank the Americans for delivering a clear alternative model to the different European UHC systems, which mean we can analyse the models against each others.

A lot of MBA programs seem completely broken. The MBA strategy

1. Massive layoffs or offshoring
2. Get huge bonus for cutting costs
3. Jump ship before sh**t hits the fan.

Yes and they also learn to breathe and defecate in most MBA programs.

Your MBA strategy is not something a functional human being need to learn, it comes natural to people. The real problem are that everyone who run cooperations benefit from this model, which mean it's close to impossible to change outside vigilanty violence.
