It can, but of course unregulated it tends to do the opposite. All Trump needs to do is open a history book.

unregulated capitalism and environmental protection are mutually incompatible?

THIS is why government regulation is important.

Trump is way too ignorant to understand this.

... I think that Commoner's language was more like, "unregulated capitalism and environmental protection cannot co-exist.

I read this over 35 years ago and don't have photographic memory. It's close to accurate.
