That is for oneunit change in price the amount change in demand would be less than one unit.

The basic focus is on the demand side thansupply side. Demand can be expanded through two channels. One is increase in thegovernment expenditure and other is decrease in rate of interest. This indicatesexpansionary fiscal and monetary policy that helps boost the depressed spending level ineconomy. The Great Depression led to fall in economic output through a chronicdownturn in the economic activities. Increasing demand pushed for more production thatenhanced economic output in the short run.
