Is Capitalism Sustainable? Let's hope not, or rather let's do our best to make sure that it continues to be able to sustain itself for as short a time as possible. "Sustainable Capitalism" is a nightmare.(That includes "sustainable development" because "development" has always meant capitalist development.) Economists, as a rule, don't worry about whether or not it is sustainable in theory; they are hard at work doing their best to make it so for as long as possible. What do you expect? It's what economics has always been about.
