The argument of classical economists is that higher savings leads to more investment and eventually in the future to higher growth and higher income.
Keynes argued that if individuals save more, they will increase their consumption possibilities in the future. However, if society saves more, this may reduce its future income and consumption since as people save more, they will spend less. Firms will then produce less. There will be thus a multiplied fall in income. This phenomenon of higher savings leading to lower income is known as 'the paradox of thrift'.

What is paradox of thrift?
The paradox of thrift refers to the economic concept where individual efforts to save more money can lead to a decrease in overall economic growth. When many people or businesses increase their savings simultaneously, it reduces overall consumption, leading to lower demand for goods and services. This drop in demand can result in lower production, layoffs, and ultimately a decrease in income, which paradoxically means that total savings may not increase, as economic activity slows down. Thus, while saving is generally beneficial for individuals, widespread attempts to save can harm the economy as a whole.
