You're right. He is wrong.

Capitalists would not exist with a tiny tiny human population.

The planet itself, unsurprisingly, can't "cope" with endless growth. Strangely enough the planet is a finite resource.

Yes, that is why at some point our current model will come to an end.
And advantages....
Lower real estate costs.
Less destruction of natural spaces.
Less upward pressure on AGW.
Some investment is based upon growth.
Not all.
And if a population stabilizes, there'll still
be growth of more competitive companies.
Overall growth isn't necessary or even
desirable IMO.
Why assume "very few people"?
If all millennials stop procreating...there will be very few people left.
That's math.
If everybody jumped off a high cliff onto a bed of nailsIf all millennials stop procreating...there will be very few people left.
That's math.
coated in Ebola virus, then all of humanity would disappear.
That's math too.
But impossibly absurd scenarios are not reality.
Science makes giant leaps. I mean...in few decades there will be contraceptives making unwanted pregnancies reduced to zero.
And let's be honest... the 95% of the population is the result of unwanted pregnancies.
With a tiny population, Capitalists will gain nothing.

The philosophy of 'growth' in economics is flawed and, IMHO, one leading to the destruction of the biosphere. Quality ove quantity, I say.
And the Star Trek economy will make work unnecessary.
Let's stick to reality as it is, not what is dreamed of.
That's a dishonest claim.
That's a stupid claim.

If. You have no confidence
And don't ask
You don't get.
If you have confidence
You don't even need to ask.
It is called non verbal agreement.
The birth rates in Africa and in Asia have skyrocketed ...and I don't think women deliberately decide to create children in extremely poor conditions.
Just think that in my country not even people with 2 incomes make children because the Euro-dictatorship makes life a nightmare.
Tell me the right number then.
