Ironic that I'm quoting Darwin (well paraphrasing), but if you believe a theory of evolution might work in a closed environment, then you wouldn't want to keep imposing rule after rule with an arbitrary structure of control mutating your experiment into a narrow definition of life. If you were god, you would remove as many rules as you could allowing expansion into all manner of sentience with no bound. The free market follows this Darwinian analogy. Do you want a business to survive that can't regulate itself or survive the parasitic nature of the rest of the economy?
The problem with regulation is similar to the problem we're having now with allergies and our immune system. If you Purell everything, when a business needs to survive a real adversary, it has no defenses. Also, if you look at the way our economy has evolved over the past 200 years, there are certain mechanisms that are in place to help businesses help themselves. If you regulate them from the outside, then these mechanisms start working against the corporations like when our immune systems work against us when they don't have anything else to do. That's why kids that grow up with dogs and cats in the house at a young age have stronger immune systems.
A little dirt in your system is good for the soul.
