The aggregate market has a self-correcting mechanism that ensures the long-run full-employment equilibrium will be reached by itself, without government policies. The predicament: - Long run means full employment and flexible prices.
- Short run means price rigidity without full employment.
The automatic, self-correcting solution:- Disequilibrium in the labor market exerts pressure on wages to correct the imbalance, even with wage rigidity.
- This automatically moves us from the short run to the long run and full-employment equilibrium.
The critical question: How long does the self-correcting mechanism take? Days? Months? Years?

In particular, inflexible prices (also termed rigid prices or sticky prices) are a key reason underlying the positive slope of the short-run aggregate supply curve. Prices tend to be the most inflexible in resource markets, especially labor markets, and the least inflexible in financial markets, with product markets falling between the two.
