Exactly, capitalism is economic perpetual motion, you can't have exponential growth in a finite system.

I might be wrong, but I think you mean infinite growth in a finite system.

You can have exponential growth in a finite system can't you? As exponential is just that it gets faster and faster compared to linearly increasing variables.

I guess at some point growth has to stop being exponential in a finite system, but the same can be argued for linear growth I think.

Yeah I agree. It's still called exponential growth, even if it's temporary.

True, should be more like exponential growth in perpetuity or something but you get the idea.
