But increases demand for used goods means the price increases for them, which means the deal isn't as good so buying new becomes more interesting...

I think we just invented economics

And we just realized how silly it is!

There's alternatives to the capitalist system that leads to the situation we're in right now.

And those systems use economists too. There are whole economic departments in universities in socialist economies studying economics. The science does not change just because the system you use to allocate goods changes.
