>economic growth is not a zero-sum game. economic growth is an abstraction. i'm not talking about abstract notions of good and evil. some people believe that there are systems where entropy decreases too. their mistake is the same as yours: the system you're looking at isn't big enough. someone, somewhere, pays for your growth. either it's the employees that you underpay or it's the commons that you trash or it's the competitors whose coattails you're riding on or etc and etc and etc. you can't point to a single product that doesn't incur this kind of entropy increase somewhere along its supply chain. edit: i'm getting downvoted. would love to know where i'm mistaken (other than that i'm assailing capitalism).
