Long description for Figure 6.4: The x-axis is labelled, loanable funds (billions of dollars per year) , with points L1 and L2 marked.The y-axis is labelled, real interest rate, with points i1 and i2 marked.3 lines are shown; Supply S1, S2 and Demand.The Demand line begins at the top left corner and slopes down to the bottom centre.Line S1 begins near the origin and slopes up to the top right corner.Line S2 follows the same slope as S1, but is plotted to the left.The area between the lines S1 and S2 is indicated by a left pointing arrow.The Demand line intersects line S1 at the point (L1, i1) , a little more than half-way along both the lines.The Demand line intersects line S2 at the point (L2, i2) , a little more than half-way along both the lines.These points of intersection are connected to their respective coordinates on the x and y-axis with dotted lines.Between these dotted lines, an arrow points left from L1 toward L2, and another arrow points up from i1 toward i2.
