摘要：
The mechanism by which aggregate supply creates the income that generates a demand equal to that income (called Say`s Law), may not work in a general equilibrium with decentralized markets, production made to order and private bonds. Full employment is an equilibrium, but convergence to that state is slow. A self-ful lling precautionary motive to accumulate private bonds (equal to zero in the aggregate) may set the economy on a path towards a steady state with unemployment. This equilibrium is a sink from which no path emerges to restore full employment.
