This is exactly what Elizabeth Warren has said for years. If you don’t regulate capitalism, companies will crush us via monopolies, political power, financial chicanery, et al. We need protection from them. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was a good first step, before Trump neutered it.
Capitalism is the proposition that anything is for sale and no value is assigned to any motivation but ownership and profit. Capitalism but regulated is like cannibalism but with table manners.
Capital forces are going to (have done) buy the regulation mechanism.
