>Liberalism (from the Latin liberalis, "of freedom"[1]) is the belief in the importance of liberty and equality.[2][3] Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but most liberals support such fundamental ideas as constitutions, liberal democracy, free and fair elections, human rights, free trade, secularism, and the market economy

But it lives daily, no future plans work out with capitalistic markets. Population grows, industry and production exponentially grows then what? When the resources inevitably dries out?
