I'd argue that part of what enables the current issues is exactly the "hack" of making the gestalt believe that capitalism, free market/enterprise, the ideas of Adam Smith, etc. are all part of capitalism instead of things that at best partially overlap. This means that people who want to grow richer just by virtue of being rich can easily defend their actions by making any who complain into common enemy for everyone else. Because penalizing pure financial speculation and other rent-seeking behaviours, or predatory private equity, can be conflated this way with attack on ability of everyone to start their own enterprises, maybe walk away from a job and create their own, etc.
