Now imagine 100 years ago, with regulations levels at this imagined 'golden age'. It was actually called the 'gilded age' and the wealthy scooped up everything for themselves, caused a global depression, and impoverished/starved millions.

That's why we put the regulations in place. We can argue there are too many, but just smashing the current system is no way to restore anything. And it hasn't - we're back to worse than we were during the gilded age.
