This paper addresses a general vision of the science of equity and sustainability, which could be called ecosocionomics. The conflict between economies, ecosystems, and social justice could be reconciled on a consensual platform constructed on the scientific basis. Concurring with Wilson’s reasoning, it is argued in this paper that a proposed new platform of knowledge should confirm all the indisputable facts of all branches of science. We definitely reject any form of a win-win, or even win-win- win hypotheses. The three goals: economic efficiency, ecosystem protection, and social fairness are not compatible, they stand rather in opposition one to another. As far as human race occupies and reshapes the only World, there is no choice but to sit down and jointly solve our common problems. Mother Earth feeds humans generously, but only to certain limits of her carrying capacity , which cannot be exceeded. This paper represents a step in the ongoing process of looking for a way how to live within the natural limits, and the limits that were created by humans.

W artykule zaprezentowano model wzrostu kapitału stworzony przez M. Dobiję, w tym jedną z podstawowych jego części składowych, a mianowicie stałą ekonomiczną potencjalnego wzrostu kapitału. Analizując najbardziej przekonujący dowód istnienia tej stałej (badania B. Kurka) w świetle historii ekonomii i gospodarowania, starano się wykazać, że nie ma wystarczających powodów do przyjmowania założeń, które doprowadziły badaczy do stwierdzenia istnienia stałej ekonomicznej. Obecne ograniczenia nie pozwalają na stwierdzenie istnienia takiej stałej.

The article presents the capital growth model created by M. Dobija (2007), concentrating on one of its most important components ‒ the economic constant of the potential growth of capital. It then looks at the most convincing corroboration of the existence of this constant, namely research conducted by B. Kurek (2007). Presenting this research in the context of the history of economics and economy as a whole allows the author to show that there is insufficient evidence to grant the assumptions which led Dobija and Kurek to conclude that such an economic constant exists. The author concludes that limits in the past as well as in the future should disallow economists from stating that such a constant exists.
