Forgive my ignorance of economics, but the growth paradigm just seems like an endless game of 'move the finish line', punishing any business model aimed at sustainability rather than expansion. Can someone please explain from a theoretical and practical standpoint why growth is such an important valuation tool? Is it just greed? Or is it the very bedrock of capitalism in some way I don't understand?
Thanks.
