Capitalism is not based on the notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.

It is the way we do it! :-P

No, it isn't. "Capitalism" doesn't depend on growth. You can have a shrinking economy, even an intentional degrowth economy, which is still capitalist.

Whatever thing it is you're referring to that assumes infinite growth, that thing isn't capitalism.
