An industry's size is limited by customer demand, not the availability of resources. Organisms cannot live forever. They must produce offspring that survive long enough to yield their own offspring. Organizations face the reverse. They can maintain their technology in perpetuity.
Creatures camouflage themselves almost to invisibility.
Oppositely, companies devote enormous resources to attracting customers. The basic design of ecosystems and economies are much the same. To overcome the survival threat posed by predators, rabbits produce as many offspring as possible. To capture the survival opportunity offered by customers, aircraft builders produce as many planes as possible. The products in the nation's supermarkets are the current winners in a never-ending struggle for shelf space and market share.
