We're in the mess we're in because state regulatory agencies stifle competition. Massive corporations can write off million dollar fines as an itemized expense, upstarts cannot. Many of those massive corporations got so massive because of state subsidies. We need less state/business interaction, not more.
Ignoring the reliance on the silly liberal myth that politics can be separate from economics, that would stop the drive towards globohomo how exactly? The logical conclusion of abolition of regulation is the abolition of borders, reducing the world to mere economic zones with no regard for peoples.
And planned economies are better? Gobohomo has taken root because those state regulatory agencies were co-opted by the globohomos to consolidate their market control.
You're still stuck in the false dichotomy of capitalism versus communism. Markets regulated in the interests of the nation is a thing. For a practical example check out Princes of Yen, the book and the movie. The short version is that the Zaibatsus were put back in charge of Japan's economy post war. The national bank was very succesful directing investments into capex through credit controls, until globohomo sabatuers purposefully created and popped a bubble in order to restructure the market for western investors.

You've just described why markets cannot separate from politics, since power naturally consolidates. Either commercial enterprises submit to the government or they will become the government. The lolbertarian vision is no less disconnected from reality than the communist's and leads to the same end in practice due to Deleuzian territorialization.
I don't believe regulators who 'operate in national interest' will remain in the national interest. Like you said, power consolidates, and an agency that regulates economics is a very powerful entity. Wouldn't take long until it's co-opted.

You always provide excellent reading suggestions. Thanks.
