The word you're looking for is "regulation".
Capitalism's only job is to be a paper clip factory. All they will ever care about is making paper clips. If left unchecked, they will run amok and fill the universe with paper clips.
It's government's job to provide the walls and the rules and the guidelines that protect its people and prevent that from happening.
But the paper clip factory managers started running for office. And duped people into voting for them. And now the halls of congress and governor mansions and parliments and white houses etc. are filled with paper clips and now nobody can get anything done.
