The price of the primary production of agriculture converts into money. Money, taken by itself, is then no longer an object of economic life, but a counter-value for the value of the commodity. Money takes on the character of a right; it becomes a drawing-right on commodities. It is a means of flow, to ease the exchange of goods. But as such it must disappear back into the economic process, as quickly as possible, out of which it arose. In this way it guarantees the continuous flow of primary production, against which all further economy-wide value- and price-formation must measure itself.
