 | | On June 30, 1990, the money <<b>bb>>supply<b>bb>>, measured as the sum of currency and checking account deposits, totaled $809 billion. |  | | According to this view a decline in the money <<b>bb>>supply<b>bb>> is a response to a decline in people's demand to hold it, not an independent action by suppliers to reduce the quantity of money. |  | | Since 1914 an actual decline of the money <<b>bb>>supply<b>bb>> has occurred during only three business cycle contractions, each of which was severe as judged by the decline in output and rise in unemployment: 1920 to 1921, 1929 to 1933, 1937 to 1938. |

| | Aggregate demand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the "Keynesian cross diagram," a desired total spending (or aggregate expenditure, or "aggregate demand") curve is often drawn as a rising level of D as total national output and income rise. |  | | A person's understanding of the aggregate demand curve depends on whether he or she examines changes in demand as income changes or as price change. |  | | Much or most of the investment in inventories can be due to a short-fall in demand (unplanned inventory accumulation or "general over-production"). |

| | Glossary: Money <<b>bb>>Supply<b>bb>> |
 | | Money <<b>bb>>supply<b>bb>> is measured in a variety of ways, but the most widely cited measurements are M1, M2 and M3 -- the "monetary aggregates." M1 is chiefly currency in circulation and bank checking accounts. |  | | The Fed stopped targeting money <<b>bb>>supply<b>bb>> growth and started targeting the fed funds rate because, it explains, "the combination of interest rate deregulation and financial innovation disrupted the historical relationships between M1 and the objectives of monetary policy." In other words, the development of new types of financial products complicated measurement of the money <<b>bb>>supply<b>bb>>. |  | | This reflected the monetarist tenet that the money <<b>bb>>supply<b>bb>> is the main determinant of economic activity. |
