You are asking for a utopian society that never works. You want one powerful entity (corporations) to be regulated by an even more powerful entity (the government). Who regulates the government?
We used to with the Constitution. Now, no one does. Big business just buys them, and does what they want with them. It's why we are in this mess now. It has very little to do with the free market, and everything to do with government. In a pure free market, there would be no sub prime loans, because they are sub prime. No one in a free market would lend people who can't afford a house money. They only do so because the government incentivized it, and then instantly bought them up with GSA's like Fanny and Freddy. Those agencies were allowed to get as bad as they were, because they had government in there pocket.
There is only one way to regulate the market safely. Take the power away from the government to do anything (so there is no power for the corporations to buy), and let your dollar do the talking.
Look at the top businesses in the world. Wall-mart, Toyota, Exxon, Shell, BP, Chevron, ING, GM....
There are a lot of oil companies on there, for two reasons... They can buy government, and the sell a shit load of gas. The only thing "Big Oil" is accused of is making a lot of money. Funny how they make about 9% profit, while the government makes over 40% profit off of every gallon of gas sold.
But, compare those companies to our government when it comes to corruption. It's not even close.
