The government, if controlled by the right people, will protect the interests of the people.

If there is no governance, or if the government is controlled by the wrong people, then corporations win, pollute, destroy, etc... There is too much financial incentive to do what isn't good for the environment and all people.

Capitalism is a great thing, but it has its limits, and that is why we need laws and regulations.
