>Markets left to their own accord incentivize dishonesty and manipulation.

Only among the narrow minded & short sighted. Companies that view things like customer service as a cost center rather than customer retention & profit center tend not to experience as much success as their all-else-being-equal competitors. It's a PITA to return something to Walmart Online, refund are slow and sometimes nonexistent, requiring lengthy exchanges and delay. Amazon makes it easy, and is one of the primary reasons I long ago made them my first and, when possible, only stop for shopping online.

So only the companies run by poor business managers or otherwise openly traded on stock markets. That makes me feel so much better.

You describe incompetence, not dishonesty & manipulation. Glib words are easy, strive for a deeper level of understanding than reflexive misanthropy.
