Oil prices more than doubled, climbing to a record high of over $140 per barrel by July 2008 and sending gasoline prices to over $4 per gallon. At the same time, defaults by borrowers with weak credit records in the subprime mortgage market seized up the financial markets and caused consumer and business spending to decline. The result was a severe economic contraction at the same time that the inflation rate spiked. To understand how developments in 2007–2008 had such negative effects on the economy, we now put together the aggregate demand and aggregate supply concepts from the previous three chapters to develop a basic tool, aggregate demand and supply analysis.

The analysis will help us interpret episodes in the business cycle such as the recent severe recession in 2007–2009.
