I think this is discounting the fact how companies over time have pushed consumerism - as well as constantly creating new needs through marketing (think halitosis and mouthwash or diamond wedding rings)

While I agree that everyone has a responsibility in fixing our current economic climate, we're only here because of the manipulation of greedy corporations in the first place.
