Yep, but the main problem here is the perverse pressure to grow indefinitely.
And that comes from it being acceptable for public companies to pay no dividends and instead rely on share price increases to deliver a return on investment.
Something that slows down this growth spiral would fix things partially. Require profitable companies to pay a % of the profit as dividends to their shareholders?
