It is useful to think of the production process as being divided into stages of production such that the output of one stage is sold as input to a subsequent stage. Hayek ([1935] 1967) employed a simple right triangle to depict the capital-using economy – which gave him a leg up on Keynes, who paid no attention to production time.

One leg of the triangle represents consumer spending, the macroeconomic magnitude that had the attention of both Keynes and Hayek; the other leg tracks the goods-in-process as the individual plans of producers transform labor and other resources into the goods that consumers buy.
