Not certain how common it is these days, but it was supposedly commented on by Kenneth Boulding: "Anyone who believes that exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a madman or an economist."

No one cares about "forever". In the long run, we're all dead, and there's no theoretical limit to exponential growth until we're all dead.

  Especially if we ensure that the end of exponential growth will kill us.
