Now Economy 

The "I need it Now!" sheeple-intensive economy.
In a recent article in trendwatching.com, one can read about what founder Reinier Evers has called the 'Youniverse' of the 'massclass' of 'trysumers' who now can buy their own 'massclusives' blah blah blah...

First they called it New Economy (the 90s' e-boom-and-bust)... then it became known as the New New Economy (the humble, non-spending 'techwrecks'/ also refers to the 00s' rising nanotech and pharma market). But, what about now? You answered yourself...It's the Now Economy now!

zombie economy 

Something that looks alive, but is really dead (smells like rotten fish) Something like Goldman Sachs putting a paper mache money transfusion into a corpse, we all walk around following each other for the last drop of blood, forever.

Yeah, got a job the other day: I was CEO at WaMu, but my 12 year old neighbor, outsourced me to mow lawns: zombie economy, you know.
