I don't understand how you can think this is the be-all-and-end-all of economic thought. You are literally regurgitating a line ("Letting the market allocate resources has a lot of inefficiencies, but it works better than any alternative that has been tried.") you were probably taught in middle school without the slightest hint of irony.

I'm not saying it's untrue because it's taught early, but I am saying that it seems you haven't done much due diligence beyond that.

I was a communist until age 20 or so, but keep beating up that strawman.
