A primer on how the economic engine works through coordination between savers, investors, consumers, producers, governments and banks. How hoarding and unfair competition can lead to economic distortions.

Topics covered include:

  • How spending and saving are connected including the paradox of thrift
  • How borrowing money can lead to higher income and savings and potentially to bubbles
  • How hoarding differs from investing and why too much hoarding can deprive businesses of capital
  • How lightbulbs, grocery stores, and kitchen appliances could be examples of unfair competition and planned obsolescence.
  • What role do we play as participants in this coordinated economic dance?
