Free enterprise is only in the interests of the public when there is competition, for competition there needs to be a chance of victory, after victory there is no competition. The system breaks down.
But then you have the anti-trust laws and regulation, so this removes any hope of victory, complacency and price fixing begin and the system breaks down again.
Nothing is perfect, American capitalism is no exception.
