Comments on Adam Smith's "Wealth of nations"

I am searching for Smith's comments on the drive of owners of capital to interfere with the operation of free markets, in order to maximize profits.
That information would be included in the essay following:
Betraying Adam Smith: Corporate Libertarians and Runaway Capitalism
The Liberal/Libertarian nexus is a mess, politically and conceptually, right now. I have seen the term "anarcho-Libertarian" used to describe the extreme forms of libertarianism which have been funded and used so successfully by the Corporatist oligarchy to discredit government protection of free markets from predatory corporatism.
Liberalism can be anti collectivist, pro market and pro pluralist, reaffirming the Constitutional system of checks and balances envisioned by the founders without adopting a policy stance that renders us incapable of dealing with the drive of corporatist oligarchs to destroy markets.
Libertarians, on the other hand, are largely rendered impotent in the face of private actions to distort and prevent the efficient action of markets by their near "religious" objection to government action.
In her article "Enron and the Myths of Runaway Capitalism" Marjorie Kelly, publisher of Business Ethics, describes some of current problems of "invisible hand" theory. George Soros touches on it in his Essay "The Capitalist Threat". Of course Adam Smith, in the "Wealth of Nations" addressed the same problems, though they were not quite as central to the development of political economy at the time.
