And consequently, low aggregate demand, which in a never-ending cycle, reinforces the pessimism of the investors, who, fearing low demand, reproduce it by not investing -- exactly like Oedipus' father, who, terrified by the prophecy of the oracle that his son would grow up to kill him, unwittingly engineered the conditions that ensured that Oedipus, his son, would kill him.
Og som konsekvens,  lavere samlet efterspørgsel, som i en aldrig sluttende cyklus, forstærker pessimismen hos investorerne, som, frygtende lav efterspørgsel,  frembringer det ved ikke at investere -- præcis som Ødipus' far, som, skrækslagen af profetien fra oraklet, at hans søn ville vokse op  og slå ham ihjel, uden at vide det skabte de betingelser, som sikrede at Oedipus, hans søn, ville slå ham ihjel.
