Are there mathematical equations that could prove that there is a base of growth that is sustainable and not interest tinkered with to create balloons?

There should be it seems on a projected populous increase , a system that determines need of the base demand (food shelter clothing) some what like the just in time inventory concept.

I think it is honestly a matter of not preference but necessity in a great majority of the populous. I shall term this supplement by debt an increase in living standards, that base incomes lack. It is impossible to extrapolate what the end result of this could be as there has been no other period in history to my knowledge where consumer debt could at the rate it increases (thanks to credit cards) out do corporate sector.
