overproductions
Too much manufactured
Overproductions is the plural of overproduction—the act of producing more than can be sold, consumed, or usefully absorbed.
The term appears in economic discussions about market gluts and inefficiency: Agricultural overproductions led to falling prices.
In theater and film, overproduction means excessive staging or technical elaboration that overwhelms the material: The play's overproductions distracted from the script.
