Capitalist economies are not sustainable. That's kind of their point: Line goes up, even though resources are finite (which economists conveniently ignore). Hence, they can't be sustained ad infinitum. We're all borrowing/stealing from somewhere, including from nature. (And the harder we believe in capitalism, the faster humanity will crash because resources are getting used up.)

Ultimately, money is a means to an end anyway: Making sure society functions well enough that everyone has food and shelter. Other than that, it's just imaginary figures.

Actually, part of the reason that American cheese cannot be called "cheese" even in the US is that it's not just cheese + sodium citrate anymore. For cost reasons, it's now cheese + butter + skim milk powder + sodium citrate.
