Government will always be usurped by unrestrained capitalism, as that is the most competitive action. The dualistic thinking of your comment ignores this inherent flaw of having a system with basically unlimited potential concentration of wealth and power. Corporations and the wealthy become the government, because it is an advantage to do so. It's just like monopolies that naturally occur. Government just happens to be the biggest one. Corporations and the wealthy decide eventually that they do not need to pay a commensurate share into the public good, and they suck the economic vigor, health, and wellbeing out of the nations that they usurp because they are by definition those that have successfully hoarded more resources than others. Government has never been a truly separate entity from the wealth-holding class, except in cases of revolution (which all tend to return to baseline eventually).
