It just slows down, people buy less, then, because of the low sales, companies lay off employees, so people buy even less...and so on.

Good. I think the world could do with less consumerism.

Could it also do with more angry underemployed people?

Yes, definitely. I think our current consumerism is unsustainable and will either kill or mostly ruin us and the planet. More unemployed people will either lead to us realising we don't need to constantly be consuming more, or revolution into a more sustainable society. I'd take either over what we have now.
