Absolutely. The market is efficient - but we don't necessarily want efficiency, sometimes we want humanity instead.
I, personally, think that markets are good for things that are not natural monopolies, and are luxuries. When things are necessities then we need state-run ways of making sure that people get what they need and aren't taken advantage of.
