I am not surprised. Contrary to popular belief, free markets nor capitalism do not resolve tragedy of the commons; they just hide it in (negative) externalities.
The biggest example is probably the CO2 emissions and global warming, but also the social costs of economic outcasting - making people jobless, homeless or otherwise stressed due to poor distribution of resources.
