overaccumulation. Greenspan is clearly and correctly worried that the population is simply not big enough to valorize the swollen mass of capital that is being accumulated at a rapid clip. Why deny that he honestly recognizes that capital is now pushing to extreme boundaries of valorization and that population is coming to a form a limit to the accumulation of capital simply because the valorization base is too small. This has nothing to do with the consumption base being too narrows for capital. This is a problem of production, not demand; of valorization, not realization. (see Henryk Grossmann)

CB: Of course the system is not in a crisis now. So, undervalorization, problems of production not demand is NOT causing a crisis.

So, you see this as a coming crisis of underproduction that Greenspan is trying to avoid ?
