Your point references the correlation between capitalism and democracy.
One downside of a democracy is that special interests can gain power and distort the system to the benefit of the few rather than the many.
In Atlas Shrugged, Rand shows how corporate interests run amok can lead to very bad outcomes, and she creates a moral argument for capitalism -- as compared with crony capitalism.
