Carl Christian von Weizsäcker on Generational Justice - Dictionary of Arguments
Mause I 279 Generational Justice/Growth/Weizsäcker: recent analyses suggest that changes in the demographic structure in many developed economies lead to an overaccumulation of capital. (1) See also Generational Justice/Diamond. Dynamic Inefficiency; See Terminology/Economic Theories. Thesis: A secular oversupply of savings beyond existing investment opportunities leads to the fact that the balanced interest rate would actually be negative. However, this is not possible, as the individuals would then simply withhold cash from them. Solution: The state could step into this breach as a debtor and thus enable individuals to shift individual budgetary leeway into the future as planned. Vs: Example: In an economy in which land is available as a store of value, prices for land would have to explode to infinity if such a savings surplus actually existed.(2) 1.
