Nothing contentious. It is something I have been pointing out before. For example the average person in your economy produces 500oz worth of goods, but spends only 400oz The simple result is that an average of 100oz worth of goods per person remains unsold, and rotting away if it are undurable goods. In an economy we cannot avoid the law: revenue(income) = spending The 'spending' includes both spending for consumption and spending on new equipments (investing) So, if the average person spends less (with the idea of saving more), the result is that he earns less. It is possible for some people to 'save', but then you need other people who spend more than they earn by borrowing or taking away from their 'savings'.
