He didn't say each player would regulate itself, but that the system as a whole would regulate itself. The system did regulate the companies you mentioned--they went out of business. Unfortunately, the federal government threw the taxpayers under the bus in order to keep the system from working like it's supposed to.

Working like it was supposed to during, say, the Great Depression?

That was a likely outcome if we'd followed the prescriptions you seem to advocate above.
