Capitalism has been driven by the mantra of Laissez-Faire. What does laisse-faire mean? It means the policy of leaving things to take their own course, without interfering. And it is used in the context of managing the economy, where the economy is pretty much treated like a wildlife sanctuary, where if a smaller beast is being eaten by a larger beast, one should not interfere. Or if a predator comes in from a nearby forest, one should not interfere. Hence in the economic sense, the government is not supposed to interfere if a company or industry is collapsing, and neither should the government interfere, if a large global entity, with cheap capital and unfair business advantages, devastates the local players.
