In the vast mountains of Southwestern Pennsylvania lies Fallingwater; an architectural phenomenon nestled among the rocks of the Laurel Highlands. The house that was supposed to give the residents a view of the waterfall, hangs over it instead, making the waterfall a part of the structure within the house. It was designed by renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935 as a private residence and weekend home for Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr. a department store owner from Pittsburgh, and his family.

4.|In the Keynesian-cross model, both the price level and interest rate are held constant. A decrease in government spending reduces output by 1/(1 – MPC) times the change in government spending. In the IS-LM model, the reduction in output caused by the decrease in government spending is partially offset by an increase in investment (crowding in). In the IS-LM model, the decrease in government spending reduces income as in the Keynesian-cross model, but the reduction in income also reduces the demand for money, which in turn reduces the interest rate for a given money supply.
