what happens to the circular flow if households stop spending?
In the basic circular flow model of the economy, resources (like labor, land, capital) are supplied by households to firms, who use them to produce goods and services. If households stop spending, they stop demanding goods/services from firms. This leads firms to reduce production, so they demand fewer resources from households, which cuts household income, further reducing spending in a cycle that shrinks the circular flow.

Resources flow from households to firms
If households stop spending, the circular flow contracts: firms see falling demand for goods/services, reduce production, cut resource purchases from households, which lowers household income, creating a cycle that reduces overall economic activity in the flow.
