(3) "The aggregate demand curve slope slopes downward because when the price level is lower, people can afford to buy more, lead to the rise in aggregate demand. When price rises, people can afford to buy less, resulting to the fall in aggregate demand. It is therefore very much an extension of the Law of Demand in Microeconomics." Is this a good explanation of the shape of the AD curve? Why or why not?
