To determine

A monetarist argument that a contractionary fiscal policy need not lead to a fall in real GDP with a fixed money supply.

Introduction:

Contractionary monetary policy is a policy to reduce the supply of money in the economy by increase in the interest rates and a decrease in the bond prices. This reduces the amount of available credit and also reduces the final spending.

Controlling the money supply is to directly or indirectly decrease the flow of money supply in the market.
