Abstract
Suppose that the government maximizes a fixed social welfare function through the use of policy instruments. These instruments may be classical lump sum transfers of wealth or such second-best instruments as commodity taxes, income taxes, etc. Then under certain conditions the aggregate demand behavior for this economy will appear as though it were generated by a single representative consumer.
