Integration of Market Exchange and money circulation We might call this endpoint an equilibrium. It is not the usual demand-supply equili is an equilibrium(in the Nash sense) correspond ing to our initial investment. In practice, an "end point "may never exist since more investors and other autonomous demanders will come in succession before the end of the reflections created by the previous investor. Furthermore, the time taken by the sequence of reflections due to a certain autonomous demand may be very long All these indicate that the trades. which seem to be carried in a disordered random fashion in our daily life, intrinsically proceed orderly: they are the reflections or multiplier effects due to certain (not necessarily one type of) prev ious autonomous demands-though it is always difficult, actually impossible, to distinguish which reflection (or exchange) is attributed to which autonomous demand We now turn to show that such a trad ing process is naturally integrated with a process of money circulation Money circulation, an Inward-looking in Real Market We may distinguish two types of inward-looking of money circulation: one is in the real market and the other in the financial market. Our previous discussion is about the market exchanges in the real market, from which we have known that an investor can be regarded as a starting point of a sequence of market exchanges. Since investment is only a paid-out, we thus can expect that the money is injected into the real market once the investment expenditure is paid out. Where the money comes from of the investor is related to the process of financial exchanges and hence turns out to be another inward-looking of money circulation. The circulation in financial market will be the subject of the next section. In this section, we assume that our supposed investor has enough money in his account for him to pay his investment expenditure The money circulation without financial exchanges can be imaged as in Figure(1)
Integration of Market Exchange and Money Circulation 6 We might call this endpoint an equilibrium. It is not the usual demand-supply equilibrium. It is an equilibrium (in the Nash sense) corresponding to our initial investment. In practice, an "endpoint" may never exist since more investors and other autonomous demanders will come in succession before the end of the reflections created by the previous investor. Furthermore, the time taken by the sequence of reflections due to a certain autonomous demand may be very long. All these indicate that the trades, which seem to be carried in a disordered random fashion in our daily life, intrinsically proceed orderly: they are the reflections or multiplier effects due to certain (not necessarily one type of) previous autonomous demands ⎯ though it is always difficult, actually impossible, to distinguish which reflection (or exchange) is attributed to which autonomous demand. We now turn to show that such a trading process is naturally integrated with a process of money circulation. Money Circulation, an Inward-looking in Real Market We may distinguish two types of inward-looking of money circulation: one is in the real market and the other in the financial market. Our previous discussion is about the market exchanges in the real market, from which we have known that an investor can be regarded as a starting point of a sequence of market exchanges. Since investment is only a paid -out, we thus can expect that the money is injected into the real market once the investment expenditure is paid out. Where the money comes from of the investor is related to the process of financial exchanges and hence turns out to be another inward-looking of money circulation. The circulation in financial market will be the subject of the next section. In this section, we assume that our supposed investor has enough money in his account for him to pay his investment expenditure. The money circulation without financial exchanges can be imaged as in Figure (1):

Integration of Market Exchange and Money Circulation 7 The payment of an investment, say I, can be thought of as being a starting point of the whole voyage of money circulation. This amount of money, which is also equal to v1 , is flowed out from the account of the investor to that of the corresponding sellers. This will realize the production of the first round enterprises and hence a certain amount of profit will be generated. The enterprises may retain a part of profit in their deposit accounts as their own saving sf1 , which is therefore withdrawn from the circulation in the real market. The rest of the money, including the dividends p1 , the payments to labor w1 and the payments to the second round firms for purchasing material m1 , will be continuously circulated. Among the m, m1 is flowed into the account of the second round firms, and w1 and p1 into the account of the first round households as consumer income. Again part of this income will be flowed into the account of the second round firms as the payments of consumption c1 ; and the other will be retained as consumer saving sh1 in their deposit accounts and hence withdrawn from the circulation. Now the total amount of money flowed into the accounts of the second round firms is m c 1 + 1 , which is also equal to v2 . A part of them sf2 will be retained and hence withdrawn from the circulation and the other will be continuously flowed out. The circulation process will continue. But since in each round, a certain amount of money is withdrawn from the circulation as saving, the actual money in the circulation will be continuously contracted. We can expect that if there is no further additional money (such as through investment) injected into the circulation, the money in the circulation will finally converge to zero. This implies that the total amount of saving — which is the money
