If it's not static and it grows, then it cannot be scarce, unless you have a group that is always taking more of existing resources.


>If it's not static and it grows, then it cannot be scarce

The resource quantity can grow but it will never meet demand. Even if all growth goes to the people with less resources, the resources will still be scarce.
