The future often times brings a since of uncertainty and uneasiness to many on our planet. Poverty, famine, and war have done their best to bring fear in the hearts of global citizens. During our time in class we have highlighted the factors that constitute and contribute to a sustainable future. These factors can be implemented and executed in one of two different types of economic systems. Marxist-Communism is a classless and moneyless social order built upon common ownership to the means of production. In terms of sustainability, the state would decide how to handle various environmental issues. Capitalism is a social and economic system based on individual rights and the free market. As we know, future generations will need food, water, access to adequate housing, and an ability to compete in an ever changing economy. Pollution must also be limited for these things to be accomplished. In my opinion, capitalism provides better methods to achieve future sustainability. Capitalism creates an environment in which new ideas can be developed and shared. Innovations and changes, such as the development of solar and wind energy, can be fostered and funded in capitalistic economies. One demands for environmentally friendly products go up, manufactures will compete in order to meet our needs more efficiently and timely than ever imaginable in a communist economic system.  Technological advancements and development thrive in capitalistic economies. We should devote our resources and funds into supporting Eco-friendly products and forms of energy. When citizens buy into the system, there is no telling the amount of good that could come from an environmentally conscious capitalistic economy.
