Well done Ed... You've managed to get both "predators" and "iconic middle class consumption desirables" into one paragraph. A conceptual breakthrough for the list I would suggest. M

What this suggests is that iconic new products can take a variety of forms, bigger and more elaborate housing for a rising middle class emulating the rich for example. What it also suggests is that there is little that is certain in the economy; you may be seeing yourself rising upward one year only to be sinking the next. It's an uncertain world, and as Chris keeps telling us, the predators wanting to sell you something you can't afford are never far away. Ed
