> Doing more with any given amount of capital

yes, I'm glad you agree. It's not about doing more with less. It's about doing more with what you have. Capitalism does not promote reduction of either the capital stock or human capital -- in fact, just the opposite!



Yes. See eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dematerialization_(economics) however: we are really using less stuff. Especially per capita.


If you arbitrarily limit yourself to developed countries, but the planet has no subdivided boundaries, it’s one system.


The developing countries are roughly going through the same stages, but faster.
