The widespread impression that there was such pent up demand also led people to believe that there could not be another depression. The perception of pent up demand was like a powerful economic stimulus package, and it had the advantage that people believed it would be long lasting.

The worst consumer recession in modern history, featuring a record collapse in durable goods expenditures in 2008 2009, should have triggered an outsize surge of pent up demand. Yet it did anything but that.

First, there was a general perception of pent up demand. After years of privation (and in many countries the physical destruction of war), people just wanted to live normally to rebuild, own a home, a car, and other consumer goods.

We developed, in short, a new attitude toward the responsibilities of government. She concluded that the positive effect of pent up demand and government measures can make sense only when viewed against the background of our changed economic and political philosophy.

By contrast, the release of pent up demand in the current cycle amounted to just 3 annualized growth in the five quarters from early 2010 to early 2011. Moreover, the strongest quarterly gain was a 4.1 increase in the fourth quarter of 2010.

This process enabled western European companies and banks to expand into new markets with higher growth rates and, thereby satisfying pent up demand and tapping unrealized potential. This has created jobs in central and eastern Europe, while boosting prosperity in the older member states.

Developed countries strong postwar investment performance dispelled fear of secular stagnation. But this occurred after a world war that had created huge pent up demand for new equipment, transport infrastructure, and household appliances, together with a military industrial complex that armed the West during the Cold War.

From the first quarter of 2008 through the second quarter of 2009, real consumer spending plunged at a 1.8 average annual rate. In the past, when discretionary spending on items such as motor vehicles, furniture, appliances, and travel was deferred, a surge of pent up demand quickly followed.

In the early postwar decades, foreign competition exerted virtually no pressure on the economy, owing to the isolation of America s continental market from the devastation of WWII.

The Chinese urge is to break from the confines of their country s history, and thus China s own geography. An assertive and relatively stable China, it seems, must expand, lest pent up internal pressures tear it apart.

According to some contemporary observers, however, pent up demand was only part of the story. During the brief but deep recession of 1949, the financial commentator Silvia Porter reflected on the attitudes that led to the 1929 crash We saw nothing wrong in fact, we saw everything right with the wild speculative boom and credit inflation that culminated in the now almost unbelievable gambling orgy of 1929.

Cecil Pigou and Franco Modigliani objected that if demand were successfully increased, the money wage level would rise, catch up to demand, and thus push employment back down to its previous level. Employment cannot be sustained above its equilibrium path by inflating effective demand.

In particular, we now have a mandate to launch what has become known around the world as the third arrow of so called Abenomics structural reform. And it is structural reform that will unleash the competitiveness, and long pent up dynamism, of Japan s firms and people.

Another crucial dilemma of diversification is the adding up problem which occurs when demand does not increase commensurately with supply.

Over most of the postwar period, this post recession release of pent up consumer demand has been a powerful source of support for economic recovery. In the eight recoveries since the early 1950 s (excluding the brief pop following the credit controls induced slump in the 1980 s), the stock adjustment response lifted real consumption growth by 6.1 , on average, for five quarters following business cycle downturns spurts of 7 8 growth were not uncommon for a quarter or two.
