Samuelson argues that if prices also fall with money wage, then this does not mean real wages will fall. Samuelson also argues that wages will only fall until there are no more unemployed to bid it down - the reserve army can only reduce wages by decreasing its size. In Samuelson's conclusion, this means that while the unemployed can reduce wages, they are incapable of reducing them to anywhere near subsistence levels before the unemployed all become employed.[9]
