Explanation of Solution

In economics, the mainstream of macroeconomic instability is Keynesian-based and it focuses on aggregate spending and its components. Changes in investment spending are significant and lead to changes in the aggregate supply, occasionally, and adverse supply shocks which change the aggregate demand.

Investment spending refers to wide variation and a ‘multiplier effect’ that expands these changes into greater amount in aggregate demand; these can cause demand pull inflation in the forward direction or a recession. A mainstream view of instability could arise on the supply side; it leads to decreases in a nation’s aggregate supply which may threaten the economy by simultaneous causing cost push inflation or recession.
