Paradox of Thrift

The downward swing of the Aggregate Demand (AD) curve, also referred to as the "Paradox of Thrift", happens when individuals save more money, reducing their consumption, which in turn leads to a decrease in overall demand and a negative impact on the economy.

While thrift can be good for individuals, it can reduce the total demand in the economy, which contradicts the idea of economic growth.
