In Reply to: Bridging Resource Sustainability and Unbridled Capitalism posted by jedinvest on January 9, 2007 at 08:19:29:
The fact that you couch the problem in terms of one particular economic system tells me you either don't understand or don't accept the real underlying problem.That problem is the generically-driven geometric growth of the human population. It doesn't matter what economic system we choose to mediate the exchange of goods and services. As our numbers and our demands grow, we will outstrip our finite resource base in all areas. We are yeast cells in a vat of grape juice. The notion of resource sustainability in that context is a chimera.
Capitalism may be a satisfying windmill to tilt at, but it has very little to do with the problem.
