Deflation and high rate of unemployment sets in

Explanation:

Aggregate demand is the total sum of consumption, investment, government expenditure, and net exports of a nation.

When there is a halt in the aggregate demand, it leads to a high rate of unemployment, thereby creating deflation or low money in circulation. This usually lead to low rate in the purchase of desired goods and services.
