I’m certainly no genius but basic math tells me that infinite growth is by definition unsustainable, no matter which way you slice it.
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.
