Maybe I will sound too much like an old puritanical Marxist, ranting about the capitalist conspiracy to lure gullible consumers into buying more and more, if I say that the coming reduction of affluence what economists call a "readjustment" in disposable income might not necessarily be such a terrible thing.

Perhaps it might be called a readjustment; surely Ms. Rice would approve of such semantics.
