PARADOX OF THRIFT
Paradox of thrift is an idea of John Maynard Keynes, who stated that spending of consumers contributes to the collective good, since a person’s spending, is another person’s income. Therefore, when people save rather than spend, they cause harm because businesses do not earn much, and have to cut jobs for employees who are then incapable to save.
