Classical economists believed in the "Say's Law" which stated that supply creates its own demand, meaning that all income earned from production would be spent on goods and services, and any excess savings would automatically lead to increased investment. Keynes, on the other hand, argued that increased savings could lead to a decrease in demand and therefore hinder investment. He advocated for government intervention to stimulate demand during times of economic downturns.
