I think it's a false dichotomy.

We use money and investment as a distributed resource allocation system.

It's kind of worked so far, but it is fundamentally flawed and on a catastrophic trajectory.

We've created a self-amplifying dissipative system without any kind of braking system, and we're already wasting the earth away faster than it regenerates.

The growth religion must be dispelled. I hope we can find a system that captures the positive aspects of capitalism while stopping the current destruction/consumption wave.
