If you save it might provide capital for investment, or it might go to a loan that is used for consumption. Investing is good, but it is not driven by the cost of capital. I disagree unless you mean only that it isn't entirely driven by the cost of capital. What's your opinion of Say's law? Aside: Inflation discourages saving. Does saving reduce inflation? Depends on what's done with the saved funds. I'm not sure there is a simple and reliably accurate answer to that question.
