Capital must grow. Capitalism constantly requires new inputs and new markets to exploit in order for capital to grow. Capitalism is very much like a parasite, feasting on its host and growing until there’s no more host left, and all the parasite can do is die (or find a new host).
Not that the Roman empire was exactly capitalist, but it shared some characteristics.
