I think there is definitely a line from early modern natural state theory to today's justification of capitalism, although the argument has somehow reversed itself.

Actual natural behaviour is not even important, since we abandoned that some time ago, and it probably isn't desirable to go back. Its just easier to sell an ideology when you disguise it as natural order.
