  The low temperature dependence of the spin and charge susceptibilities of an
anisotropic electron system in two dimensions is analyzed. It is shown that the
presence of inflection points at the Fermi surface leads, generically, to a $ T
\log T $ dependence, and a more singular behavior, $\chi \sim T ^{3/4} \log T$,
is also possible. Applications to quasi two-dimensional materials are
discussed.
