Paradox of Thrift: An individual household, governmentor business may attempt to save money by reducing their current expenditures. Though those attempts to save, once amalgamated at the level of the overall economy, may decrease aggregate spending levels and thus output and employment, hence undermining overall growth or even causing a recession. If this takes place, revenue of households, businesses, and governments will decline and overall saving may end up no higher (and possibly be even lower) than before effort to boost savings. Due to this paradox, it's not typically possible to improve economic performance by boosting saving
