serious, I never understood why a company must steadily grow, isn't that in contrast to the limited economical resources we have globally?


We don’t have limited economical resources globally.

Wealth creation is not zero sum, 100 years ago we had far less wealth than we had today and in 100 years we’ll have a lot more.

Sure, an individual company can stop growing but everything must continue to grow in aggregate to push humanity forward.


Thank you for your answer but: if we need to back the economical resources with real assets, don't this translates to limited economical resources?
