I tend to agree with you that we're past this point and market economies offer bountiful opportunities to perform minor tweaks with major outcomes and improved efficiency, if you're more left leaning that may mean systems like basic income. Even in many countries with socialized medicine, it's quite common to have hospitals operate as businesses, hiring doctors, performing research and marketing and just billing the government and insurance companies in some cases for the resulting healthcare provided in the end. Then I go to reddit and find stuff like /r/latestagecapitalism on the frontpage where they... quite blatantly would rather have a soviet style system and wonder what went wrong.
