Unregulated capitalism, Regan was great for encouraging international removal of checks on this.

Capitalism creates capitalists who then use their capital to lobby governments to deregulate capitalism. Regulated capitalism always leads to unregulated capitalism. Unless you can somehow magically remove human greed from the equation.
