INTERCEPT, SAVING LINE: The intercept of the saving line indicates autonomous saving, saving that does not depend on the level of income or production. This can be thought of as the baseline level of saving that would be undertaken if income falls to zero. Autonomous saving is affected by the consumption expenditures determinants, which cause a change in the intercept and a shift of the saving line. The value of the intercept of the saving line is the negative of the value of the intercept of the consumption line.

In the march toward economic complexity, commodity money emerged from barter exchanges, but then ultimately gave way to modern fiat money.
