"...What's required is a less polarizing narrative that considers advantage for all."
I would differ a bit from how you categorize it - "Narrative" is just another euphemism (at least nowadays) for Public Relations - the process and messaging to persuade others of your message and intent to have others do something they otherwise wouldn't…

I would differ a bit from how you categorize it - "Narrative" is just another euphemism (at least nowadays) for Public Relations - the process and messaging to persuade others of your message and intent to have others do something they otherwise wouldn't. You know, "advertising" which gets a bum rap when Big Corporations do it. Sorry, it's just another part of politics (although I agree with your words on the "intertwining" parts).
Again, I'm seeing this a lot from the Progressives who lost - "we need a better Narrative" instead of realizing "what we're selling, no one wants". In large part, what they tried to sell ran counter to those OTHER peoples' ideas of what the "political marketplace" should be.
Here, in this post, this problem also appears.
I disagree with you, in large part, that "A market free-for-all without rules and guardrails would collapse.This should be an expectation." Some regulations are needed but "when is enough, enough?". A marketplace that is strangled by regulation also collapses. While manufacturers/consumers have their ideas of their wants and needs, there are too many in govt that keep generating more and more regulations; often in the simple reason of trying to self-justify their paychecks.
Or, in many cases, being that they are unchecked by the checks and balances of profit/loss determining the need for their services, continue to pile on yet more more regulation in a "well, that's what we do" without having to suffer the consequence of their decisions (but certainly other have to).

Again, when is enough too much?
