I often imagine civilization as a human body, extraordinarily complex, interconnected, host to lots of bacteria. Trying to deliberately modify the body to fix things you don't like is only good in a very narrow set of actions, or else you risk rippling and confusing side effects.

We have a political party that bases it's policy on evidence, often from overseas. It won no seats in the last election. I'm reminded of a saying in sales. People buy emotionally and justify intellectually.

I feel like you have a very short view of history. Most regulations are put in place after a private company has abused the free market. You could argue some go overboard. Nothing is perfect though.

No, regulations are generally established after the government sabotages a market, waits for it to fail or be abused, then points to it and says "see, the market has failed us and the only solution is more government"
