This is also why your countries social welfare systems are teetering on fiscal insolvency and deficits are ballooning.

Your inefficient and non-competitive private sector isn't growing fast enough to fund your growing demand for free stuff in the public sector.

Maybe if companies and entrepreneurs were allowed to shift more rapidly to meet market demand your legacy giants (and social welfare meal ticket) wouldn't be sitting ducks for the Chinese to swoop in and kill.

Bankruptcy exists precisely so you are not in debt for life. It's a setback, but not irrecoverable.
