so... capitalism doesn't exist in a world with infinite growth potential. fiat currencies do and when tied in with capitalism, "infinite growth" is a goal. nuance is hard but not too difficult
What forms of profit-making are you proposing that can grow infinitely without consuming any resources?
none, infinite growth on a finite planet is impossible. the nuance is that the goal of infinite growth can only be possible in fiat or debt based currencies. can't just print more seashells to intice capitalists into an "infinite growth falacy"
