I know something: any article on economics with the word "entropy" is likely
to be nonsense, unless it itself declares such articles nonsense.

Entropy says a closed system will dissipate into unavailable energy.
But the earth is not a closed system.  It keeps getting solar energy, and
therefore the biomass and economic activity can increase indefinitely, so
long as the sun continues to shine.
