There are only a few types of governments which are:
- Democracy
- Socialism
- Oligarchs
- Dictatorship
- Communism
Each one of these governments must get involved in both domestic and international commerce to build their economies and societies over which they rule.
- Governments/military/law enforcement
- People
- Business/Commerce/Capitalism
I put people in the middle intentionally because that is exactly where they are in real life - caught between the other two giants that regulate and control their lives.
Socialism tries to give a little something back to the people, but it is oftentimes too little too late and when they do, they commerce suffers.
This has been the way it is for thousands of years and will no doubt continue to be this way. Currently, the world is experiencing a new phenomenon which is the upsurge of global billionaires.
These billionaires are becoming wealthy because of all the people worldwide who are force to buy their products and/or services in order to survive. There is also a new class of billionaires that is coming from entertainment and professional athletics.
These billionaires could solve all the world's problems if they would simply share their wealth with the rest of the world, which they refused to do for a variety of personal reasons. One day they may see differently but right now they are not about to share any more than they absolutely have to by law.
