It does not happen often on an individual scale. In capitalism the timescales of cause and effect are so distant that many people will not even see the consequences in the grand scheme of things. A simple example would be companies maximizing short term profits to their own demise. Like the online ad business, managers are happily ignoring the fact that bot armies are inflating their numbers. I'm really curious how Google is going to handle that in the future.
