You didn't say which country you were referring to, but capital is heavily regulated in the US. So is labor, so is profit. All economic activity is within the context of the governing laws, of which, there are too numerous to list here.

There are aspects of democracy that are pure self-interest driven, and some that are driven with rose-tinted glasses to create a future society that we all want to live and thrive in.

"Explaining actual repercussions" is just another way to inject bias, there isn't a proven method to reliably predict macro-level impacts of laws and regulations. We all have beliefs, and hopes :)

I don't see anything we disagree on really. Maybe just the phrasing of things.
