Question

If the resources are finite then how are economies growing?

In: 0

Answer 1

Because we are accessing those finite resources or becoming more efficient using those finite resources.

There is only so much water on earth, only so much farmable land, only so much gold, silver, nickel, iron, etc etc.

These are all finite resources.

But just because they are finite doesn’t mean we have already used all them. The earth in a massive, massive place. And human beings have just scratched the surface of it.
