Why don't highschools teach every student these two things?

1. The miracle of markets (supply and demand, "the invisible hand," etc.)

2. The weakness of markets (incomplete information, monopoly, etc.)

Probably the same reason they don't teach how rhetoric works.

What can be done to counter balance the weakness of markets? Mainly the incomplete information aspect. It seems like that will always be a huge problem with no solution that I can think of.
