Keynes said that a drop in aggregate demand could lower employment and the price level (an everyday concept in the deflationary depression).

The Pigou effect would counterbalance this by shifting the IS curve right due to rising real balances raising expenditures.

Shuddering insidious shock of the theory-vendors
The little sardine men crammed in a monster toy
Who tilt their aggregate beast against our crumbling Troy.”
