Peter, Your thoughts make sense in a period somewhere in the distant
future in which the world has undergone a transition to some sort of
steady state economy. Why this economy should develop by an
invisible hand is not at all clear. How it should develop by design is
equally murky. Technology has led to incredible overcapacity which
in the developed countries must be taken up by huge consumption. Yes,
buy some some stuff, use it for a week and discard it <g>.

That Japanese have not made a transition to this kind of life is
rooted in their geography and history. They need spend to put
liquidity to their system. I don't think that they will.

BTW. NYTimes today had an article in which Laura Tyson compared
the markets to mania. Manias are great time to make money. The problem is when to get off :)
