If the resources are finite then how are economies growing?

Answer 1

Finite does not mean that it’s all in use. If there are 1000 units of a resource and we have only accessed 200 units then there are still 800 left to exploit.

Also currently the human population is still growing and population growth ultimately leads to economic growth. For at least a few more decades that is.
