Is it better for the economy if workers save their pay or spend it?
One of the supposed benefits of increasing the minimum wage is that poorer workers spend more (most) of their pay, thus it helps the economy. The claim is that if the richer employer would otherwise keeps and save that money, thus the money is "removed" from the economy. Sometimes people say the money is horded. I think Bastiat's Broken Window Fallacy applies here, but I am interested in an experts view of this.

How is the value of a domestic maritime fleet related to the economics and infrastructure of a specific trading nation?

Are employed people actually employed in the best way?
Walking down the local streets, we can see many vendors, selling petty things, sitting idle most of the time , dependent on consumer's mood or rare needs. Still they are called employed. But here labor & human capital is not being used in the most efficient way. Sitting idle makes a person's mind sluggish.
