The economic meaning is again that there must be a total
expenditure equal to total potential gross income if full
employment and full capacity utilization are to be reach-
ed. However, (III.g) now also requires a very definite
division of the total expenditure between new investments,
replacements, and consumption. The effect of substituting into
it the capital accumulation conditions has been to specify the
magnitude of the term (g+ =) 2 a, a;,, which is nothing but
an analytical break-down of the equilibrium ratio of total gross.
investments to gross income in the system as a whole. This
equilibrium ratio, as can be seen, is exclusively determined
by the three exogenous factors of our model: population
growth, technology and consumers’ preferences. Therefore, if
111.9) is to be satisfied, it is the total effective demand for
consumption goods that must absorb the whole remaining pro-
portion — represented by the first addendum of (III.g) — of
potential gross income. Condition (III.g), since it thereby de-
termines the size of total effective demand, may be called the
effective demand condition for keeping full employment.
We may notice that this condition, as it stands, presents
no problem through time. Since all coefficients are constant,
once (IIl.g) is satisfied at time zero, it will remain satisfied all
time.
