If the government doesn't manipulate the market then corporations will swoop in and manipulate it themselves. Which they have. Which is why government stepped in.

I /think/ it's possible to regulate without egregious manipulation.

I do agree that some regulation is necessary, which is a form of manipulation.

If you're referring to monopolies, for example, the government could regulate anti-trust without -- say -- artificially setting treasury yields (interest rates) and corporate bond yields.
