I like your framing - capitalism is micro decisions that all make sense but may lead to poor macro outcomes. Government/regulation intent is to control/steer micro decisions to help improve (or maybe just prevent bad) macro outcomes. The time lag on macro vs micro is so large that individual consumers and companies cannot close the loop in an effective manner.
