For the macro-economically inclined . . .
People talk about economic recovery being 'fueled' or propelled by investment spending.
The exception would seem to be the extent to which consumption is devoted to imports, which stimulates employment somewhere else. I take the point that over an extended period, investment means an expansion of income, but I get the feeling that people speak of a boost from investment as if it was consumption, notwithstanding the fact that such a boost means less of something else, such as consumption.
