Ideal scenario for free market capitalist.

Low regulations AND low government involvement.

So lots of people can build widgets. Companies that do a bad job find they have no customers.

New companies pop up, do a better job and things get cheaper and or better.

High regulations means that new companies need massive capital to enter the market. So much so that no one bothers.

When only 1 company builds a widget. Well odds are it’s going to be low quality and expensive.

Now this all has to balanced that you don’t massive unsafe planes flying around by companies that have no reputation to preserve.
