I wonder if it is the case that society can benefit from having organizations installed in economic instrumentation that act as a bulwark against the creep of the economic sphere. Perhaps market forces alone a detrimental to well-being and organizations that are in opposition to those are a necessary function of a larger social economy.

We do. Social mores have been doing this, for good and ill, for basically forever. Part of the pernicious effects of neoliberal Thatcherism has been the slow removal of the idea that companies have any social role or responsibility aside from maximizing shareholder value. The ethic has crept in everywhere and it has had seriously destructive effects for important public institutions whose primary social value is non-economic (such as journalism, the arts, or academia).
