A fall in the money supply leads to a fall in the lending capacity of the banks. This leads to a fall in the supply of money in an economy. This results in a fall in the availability of funds in the hands of consumers. This implies a lower level of consumption. Thus, it implies a fall in the aggregate demand that leads to a left shift of the AD curve from AD to AD". Now, a lower demand leads to lower production in an economy as producers slow down the production and results in a fall in the aggregate supply from AS to AS". Therefore, this leads to a fall in the price from P to P" and a fall in the output from Q to Q".
