Collapsing Savings Rate
Before 1984, the U.S. savings rate held steady for decades, though it dipped during the Great Depression and rose sharply during WWII, when there was little to buy besides war bonds. The rate dipped briefly again after WWII, and then rose steadily until 1984, when saving was 10.2 percent of income. Since 1984, saving has fallen to between 2 percent and 3 percent of income.
Compare the MPC and MPS in the United States at different dates. Why might they differ?
