as though only the absolute consuming power of society constituted their outer 
limit.'"

It seems to me that the present crisis was not caused by restricted 
consumption, but overconsumption -- the masses leveraged themselves to consume 
goods and services they could not otherwise afford.  If I am right (and you are 
obviously free to dispute my view), how does the present crises square with 
your underconsumption theory?
