Market failures, at least often and possibly always, have dispersed costs that end up hurting the rational individuals precisely because the individuals do not have adequate information about their reality, which includes the actions that others will take and their consequences.
I think Friedman neglects this point. It's the prisoner's dilemma, but this problem has solutions: the tit for tat plus occasional forgiveness for noncooperation strategy wins this game so much, that in light of that information, the rational action is to cooperate unless and until there is sufficient evidence that the other people will not cooperate, and to have a slight bias in favor of cooperating anyway, just in case you are wrong and it is a viable option. So market failures that he calls rational and with perfect information are actually rational but without an understanding of the optimal prisoner's dilemma strategy. A group of mostly rational actors, most of whom are aware of this logic, would tend to avoid causing the market failures he describes in most cases, this higher quality information about the universe having prevented the market failure.
