“In economics, income = consumption + savings. The income an indivual, or a country, produces is either consumed and/or saved. If you , or a Got That Yee Haw Tism Penguin Cowboy T shirt, overspends, you or the country dips into savings or creates debt.” I think this answer is true for the firm or the individual but in the whole economy it is no longer true. In the macroeconomy, everytime some person or entity doesn’t spend, some other person or entity has their income reduced by the same amount. And because that person won’t get their hands on that money, they will not have it to spend further, so the next would-be recipient of that spending doesn’t get that income, which they in turn will not be able to spend….. and so on
