Paying attention, Keynesians?

This is where the paradox of thrift comes in:

Like most of sub-Saharan Africa, the informal sector is massive in Mozambique, but the profits are rarely deposited. The government says if they were that cash could help banks provide loans to other businesses, which could in turn create jobs. (src)

Even with the calamitous nature of the banking crisis in the West, I don't think our economic infrastructure has hit Mozambican levels. There's no paradox here between saving and economic growth.

For your added amusement, here (link) is Paul Krugman making a very similar point, back when he was a proper economist. Feel free to discuss answers to the following question: "Richard Dawkins is to biology as Paul Krugman is to what?"
