- Investment in capital goods means giving up the enjoyment of consumer's
goods at the present time (here and now) in order to obtain more
satisfaction of consumer's goods in the future.

- future, could be 5 years later

- more, has a meaning of improved in quality and increase in quantity

resources used to produce other goods (i.e.consumption goods).
