Businesses are not simply "left to do what they want" according to her philosophy. If anything the people would have greater legal recourse against big companies for damages they cause them. According to Objectivism any act that causes harm or impedes on the liberties of another party must pay restitution. She rails against the kind of thing Big Pharma is doing by coercing government to mandate their product. People would never buy from Pfizer with their track record without government backers propping them up with "studies" and "approvals". With no government approval system reputation would mean everything with drug companies, and Pfizer has a terrible reputation. Moderna had never made a vaccine before COVID, etc.
As a Christian I certainly don't prescribe to Objectivism, however I do find it the most true secular philosophy. If there was no God, Ayn Rand would be the person to follow if you wanted society to work.
