your model has something of an explanatory gap

@sargoth after so much time under keynessian economics people don't realize that their perception is distorted. I believe the statement is right, but boosting demand leads to perception of savings capacity and thus people choose things that can be consumed immediately. There, the malinvestments and the explainatory gap.

@sargoth and not only boosting demand. The snowball of state intervention
