Will There Be a Shortage of Spending Power?

Synopsis

This lecture looks at the world surplus of savings as incomes gradually shift proportionally towards those who traditionally save a high proportion of their earnings and away from those who traditionally spend most of what they earn. In theory, the excess savings should be matched by higher investment. In practice this is not happening. [63 minutes]
