-->The usual effect of the attempts of government to encourage consumption, is merely to prevent saving that is to promote unproductive consumption at the expense of reproductive, and diminish the national wealth by the very means which were intended to increase it. What a country wants to make it richer is never consumption, but production. Where there is the latter, we may be sure that there is no want of the former.
John Stuart Mill, “Of the Influence of Consumption on Production,” Essays on Some Unsettled Questions of Political Economy, 1829
