Just to show that the example doesn't prove much: millions of people voluntarily spent money on narcotics too. Entertainment products aren't making consumers richer in the long run.

Correcting income and wealth inequality will help ensure the long term health of the economy, and once that's done, we can have another debt-financed consumption binge, but the current binge can't last forever without consequences.
