For such is exposed, first, the capital of the theory developed by Carl Menger, Böhm-Bawerk and Friedrich Hayek perfected by for later focus on the key role of voluntary private savings as generating element of the necessary capital accumulation to make more capital-intensive economies. The argument revolves around the Ricardo effect and, subsequently, the advantages in specializing in input where a country is abundant.
