I remember seeing it about.

    I think the idea is that the resources of our planet are,a priori,finite.

    I don't know whether 'Limits to Growth' made the point that capitalism assumes infinite growth.

    As the song had it,

      "Something's gotter give,something's gotter give,
    something's gotter give."


   Capitalism is going to continue trying to square that circle by analogy with a Heath Robinson machine that has to get increasingly contorted to do the simplest thing.
