Abstract

This chapter further extends the loanable funds framework to consider the implications for national income that stem from investment and international trade crowding out effects, again with reference to the alternative contexts of closed economy, and open economy with different degrees of international capital mobility.

The practice, therefore, of contracting debt will almost infallibly be abused in every government.

David Hume
