1.1. Hayek says that markets will heal themselves and that government should not intervene. How
does the AD-AS model reflect Hayek's idea that governments cannot increase real GDP
beyond the level that the free market economy is able to produce?
ANSWER: The AD-AS model reflects Hayek's ideologies because the aggregate supply curve
is vertical. If the government were to intervene, it wouldn't be able to change the curve because
that would entail a change in the real GDP, which isn’t possible with government intervention.
Also, if the country were to enter a recession, the economy would self-adjust and in the long run
work toward full employment.
