Interactions between various powerful countries drive the global economy. While some of their economic systems, namely communism and United States capitalism, may seem drastically different, this article presents an argument that they are actually the same thing under a different name. It explains the general idea of how each system works and why they are fundamentally the same thing.

Because the global economy is so interconnected, international regulations are the only way to ensure that the environment is protected in all parts of the world. I think there should be more regulations on trade and industry. Although some individual countries and international groups have set down some regulations for trade and economics, many developing countries pollute freely. Since the world currently runs on fossil fuels and other nonrenewable resources, regulating the global economy to favor environmentally friendly processes and sustainability would make a huge difference in negative human impact on the earth. Global trade regulations currently protect several endangered species, and with more regulations could better protect them and their habitats. It is up to the largest most developed countries, such as the US and others, to lead in international economic policy to aid the environment.
