Oniomaniac – an uncontrollable desire to buy things.

Now, all we need to do is figure out how to give the disease to everyone in the world. Come to think of it, I think most people in China already have the problem. Chinese have what is known as the be like ‘ems. If they can buy up ‘stuff’ the way we do in the West, they’ll find happiness. And if they have oniomaniac and buy more stuff with a reason, why they can even be happier.

Fat chance of that.

Still if world governments can find a way to keep their country people spending, the economies of the world will continue to hum.

Fat chance of that, too.
