Agreed. That's why I prefer the term "manipulated". Large players (governments, central bankers, large hedge funds) can manipulate the markets. Using the casino analogy, they're the "House". Not a fraud, the House always win.

You are talking about normative economics and price floors. The house might win in the short term but the invisible hand will always find a way around. This is one of the basic principles of why Socialism can never work.
