*A* pig does not become an elephant by eating everything in sight.

*Pigs* do not evolve into elephants when they are successful, they stay
pigs. Natural selection is essentially a conservative mechanism.

To cut and paste myself:

"These systems are self-regulating and so do not suffer catastrophic
failure except from
external or random events. Capitalism relies on continued growth, which
 is the nature of a Ponzi scheme."

Note "extermal or random events". Evolution is what happens when
conditions change.
