I took a college course in Macroeconomics this semester. I should have known better; it was not a learning experience, just capitalist propaganda. The textbook didn't even try to be subtle about it. From the first pages of the book, the overt message was that the unfettered free market WOULD BE the solution to all of mankind's problems, but that pesky government keeps getting in the way with its silly regulations that exist for no reason.
Anyway, somewhere in the first 20 pages of the book was an example about black-market organ sales, where the overt message was that regulations against selling organs for profit are a bad thing. Also, why a minimum wage is a bad thing, and why regulations on the sales of medical devices are bad.
I am kicking myself for not taking pics of that shit, it was appalling.

You can't afford homes because you're buying in the first world. What's wrong with a Laotian hut???

If I use my kidney to fashion bootstraps do I win?
Edit: how much avocado toast can a kidney get me?
