  Their economy can tell us something about the demand for infinite growth in a finite world, which is inherent in modern capitalism.

    Sure, but there’s better examples that would be much more useful and relevant. You’re not going to learn much about modern capitalism trying to extrapolate from the limited knowledge available on how an ancient precapitalist economy functioned.

    i think the infinite growth is an expectation of short-range vision investors in stock markets.
