In a free market/ sans regulation an employer only wants to line his own pocket. The less he can get away with paying his employees the less he will. Market driven = people want to pay less = the temptation to pay an unfair wage to achieve that price. And of course that follows on into the manufacturing process. BP took horrendous risks with safety in the Mexican Gulf, why? > to save money on the end product.
If you have money you can make money easily. The rich can get obscenely more rich whilst the people actually doing the work and making the business run get none of that profit. Some rich people have a conscience and try to redistribute the wealth. Most though feather their own beds with it.
Hence regulation is not an option, but a necessity. People are greedy, and it shouldn't be acceptable in a civilized society to reward greed.
