i'm wondering:
aren't bubbles the necessary and only way of sustaining the economy in an inequal society, as it has often been the case in the u.s. ? can an advanced economy, like the u.s. one, really rely only upon demand of the upper crust (25%, maybe less, of the households)? i guess this is what brenner said in the boom and the bubble.
furthermore i have hunches that the bubble/bust pattern is a very effective containment strategy against class-struggle.
