This is a part of it indeed. Most people (and even a significant number of economists) assume that the economy is somehow supply-limited (and it doesn't help that most 101 econ class will introduce the markets as a way of managing scarcity), but in reality demand is the limit in 90-ish% of the case.

And when it's not, the supply generally don't increase as much as it could, became supplier expect to be demand-limited again at some point and don't want to invest in overcapacity.
