Private equity is in need of some severe regulation, how many of the ills of society go back to this sort of thing ?

The fact that it’s private equity is mostly a red herring.

The problem is the rules can be broken with minimal consequence. Swap out PE for another profit-seeking structure and you’ll tend towards the same outcome, as the bad outcompetes the good.
