People often accuse capitalism of relying on "infinite growth" or having to keep growing. That is a misconception. Capitalism only tells us that the means of production and other property should generally be privately owned, and that people should be able to buy and sell goods and services freely. Many people CHOOSE to pursue profit, but others do not. The pursuit of monetary gain is not demanded in any way by capitalism.
