Preferred term

underconsumption  

Definition(s)

  • The term underconsumption is used in very different contexts, making an unambiguous definition difficult. On one hand, it is a historically and culturally placed concept based on specific premises developed in the classic Western European liberal economic theories of the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries.
