It's hard to know what you're saying here. What is "spin out of control" and why do you think it isn't addressed by competition and regulation?

I'm saying that when it comes to regulation the sausage is mostly shaped by the same monopolists you naively assume it would protect us from.
And capital has a tendency to kill off competition you assume will just appear and magically take over.
It's not assumed, that's the objective of state: To create a sustainable and consumer-oriented market through regulation and incentives.
This is again, a feelings-based assumption. States do not behave according to this goal.

What feelings are you talking about?
It's not a feelings based assumption, it's the role of liberal democratic states determined by the basic principles of democracy. That the states do not fulfill their role is their own fault.
