No Bull Economics Lessons

If an economy is experiencing a recession in the short run, classical economists would say that the government should do nothing and the economy will correct itself in the long run.

In the long run, workers will be forced to take nominal wage cuts, thus lowering inflation expectations and the costs of production. The short-run aggregate supply curve will shift to the right toward the long-run aggregate supply curve until full employment is restored. The price level decreases, real GDP increases, and unemployment decreases.
