I see lobbying and capitalism like religion back I the old days.

Once religion and state were one. Then they separated and now it is hard for the pope to have any real influence.

I think the same will happen with state, money and capitalism.

For that, it needs to get worse for sure thou.

The economy in general and government were quite disjoint for a very long time. This was considered an active goal to be pursued.

The arguments for changing that were largely of a Progressive (by the timbre of the times) nature - trustbusting and all of that. I don't think that genie can be put back in the bottle.
