how an economy grows

A N   I D E A   I S   B O R N
Baker and Charlie stopped laughing. When, in just another 
hour, Able landed his second fi sh of the day, the boys were 
in awe. After all, it generally took them all day to get just 
one fi sh!
From this one simple act, the island’s economy was about 
to change in a very big way. Able had just increased his 
productivity, and that was a good thing for everybody. 
For the moment, Able pondered his sudden boon. “Since I 
can provide two days of food with only one day of fi shing, 
I can use every other day to do something else. The 
possibilities are endless!”
B
y doubling his productivity Able is now able to 
produce more than he needs to consume. From gains in 
productivity all other economic benefits flow.  
Before Able rolled the dice to build his net, the island had 
no store of savings. His willingness to take a chance and go 
hungry led to the island’s first piece of capital equipment
which in turn produced savings (for the sake of this story 
we will assume that fish do not spoil). This spare produc-
tion is the lifeblood of a healthy economy.
