Another name for false productivity is Spinning your wheels. They use the term for false productivity because your wheels are spinning as you're doing work but you're not going anywhere i.e, making any progress.
The law of demand implies that "The higher the price of a good, the lesser the quantity demanded".
For example:
If the rate of a mobile phone increased, the quantity demanded by the customers is decreased.
If the percent change in quantity demanded is less than the percent change in price, economists label the demand for the good as inelastic.
A good that is inelastic does not have very stretchy demand. In economic terms, the quantity demanded does not change a lot when the price changes.
So, if the price of a good increases by 10 percent and the quantity demanded decreases by only 5 percent or less than 10, that good is said to have inelastic demand.
Hence, in this case, consumers are not considered very sensitive, or responsive, to a change in the price of that good.
The long-run aggregate supply curve is vertical because it is at the full-employment or potential output. Because the economy's potential output is determined by the availability and productivity of real resources, not by the price level. That means that even if demand increases, firms can't hire new workers and expand because everyone is already working.
