“Secular stagnation” and “underconsumptionism” are terms that betray an underlying pessimism, which, by discouraging spending, not only reinforces a weak economy, but also generates anger, intolerance, and a potential for violence.
“长期停滞”和“消费不足论”这些词汇泄露出一种根本性的悲观情绪，这一情绪抑制了支出，不但强化了经济的弱势，也制造了愤怒、偏狭和暴力潜质。
