Part IV The Reconciliation of Statics and Dynamics

CHAPTER XXV

THE RECONCILIATION OF STATICS AND DYNAMICS
Theory of money as focus of general economic theory, exhibiting interdependence of doctrines; basis of further unification of statics and dynamics in higher synthesis 547-548
Statics vs. dynamics, normal vs. transitional, and related contrasts; illustrations; divergent lines of doctrine: tariffs, wars, overproduction, extravagance, etc.548-552
Statics quantitative; dynamics qualitative 552-553
Statics and dynamics both abstract 553-554
Dynamics and “friction”554-555
“Theory of prosperity” and dynamics 555-556
Statics and cross-section analysis; statics as price-theory; dynamics as value-theory 556-560
Generalization of statics: price-theory applied to dynamic phenomena: capitalization; costs; “taxonomy;” “discounting” dynamic changes; money the static measuring-rod: wide scope of money-measure; measurement of non-economic values 560-569
Generalization of dynamics: all values, whether of wheat or “good will,” have social psychological explanation; technological and biological factors, and the static equilibrium; business cycles 569-575
Business man vs. economic theorist, and value-theory; manipulation of values and prices 575-578
Statics and time 578-580
Immaterial capital 580-582
Statics and dynamics have not different subject-matter 583-586
