Tell me, is the deployment of that famous talking sand at all resource-constrained?
Of course: Everything is resource-constrained. That’s why it’s called economics.

The question was whether the “pie”—total economic output—has a meaningful upper bound on growth because we only have a whole planet full of resources to exploit as our minds and capabilities allow.

The answer is no, and history bears that out.
