German term

die Faktorleistung

German to English Bus/Financial Economics macroeconomic theory
"Der Konsum wird um den Sparanteil geringer als das Einkommen aus Faktorleistungen."

My translation: "Consumption becomes proportionally lower than savings, as the income from service factors."

This really makes no sense to me!

contribution/services of production factors

The sentence says that consumption will be lower than income earned by factors of production (labor, capital, land), and the difference will be the amount of savings.
(Keynesian theory in a nutshell: the economy produces X but people save Y so they only have (X-Y) to purchase the produced goods, some of which remain unsold; producers produce less in the subsequent period and a downward spiral sets in)
