Do you have any particular articles or blog posts or anything you'd care to share? I could search of course but I'm not sure if there's a canonical article.

The key insight is that savings and investment opportunities are two sides of a single market. Demand and supply. Savings grow reliably and opportunities do not, so demand for investment opportunities outstrips supply of investment opportunities. Therefore, the opportunities get more expensive = lower rate of return.
