Dec 30, 2014 at 0:59 comment added nominally rigid I'd add that it gets even better: there are three laws of demand, which are equivalent (and boil down to Slutsky negative semidefiniteness) in the infinitesimal case but are distinct in general. After the price change from $p$ to $p'$, you can either (1) adjust wealth such that it can purchase the old bundle, (2) adjust wealth such that utility is constant, or (3) adjust wealth such that the newly chosen bundle could have been purchased yesterday - in all cases you get a law of demand. (These are arguably the laws of overcompensated, compensated, and undercompensated demand, respectively.)
