Abstract
The following proposition is discussed: other things being equal, a given economy will save more if the disequilibrium of the price system favors profits than if it favors wages. Besides the positive effect on public saving, there is an effect through the change in the distribution of households' incomes, the latter resulting in particular from the fact that wage-earners and profit-earners perceive different processes as applying to the evolution of their future incomes. The same phenomenon occurs in order to explain how undistributed profits increase the wealth of share holders and then possibly decrease their saving.
