Abstract

Resumen: La representación básica de la actividad económica en general se compone de un conjunto de mercados, en los cuales los agentes ofrecen y demandan bienes. Un mecanismo, generalmente las variaciones de precios, conlleva a la igualdad entre la oferta total y la demanda total en cada mercado. Tal situación se define como un equilibrio. Debido a las dificultades aún no resueltas para demostrar la convergencia hacia el equilibrio, este artículo propone una representación básica alternativa de la actividad económica. Si se asume que un conjunto de mercados equilibrados es una representación derivada de un análisis real, donde a los bienes se les concede la primacía teórica, entonces una representación alternativa se obtiene cuando se le concede la primacía teórica a la moneda. Esta representación se obtiene a partir de un análisis monetario. La concepción de la moneda en el análisis monetario, definida como una unidad que permite la expresión de las magnitudes económicas y como el modo de realización de las transacciones asociadas a esas magnitudes, da lugar a una representación básica alternativa en términos de una red de pagos en evolución. Este artículo establece entonces el estatus teórico de los bienes una vez se conoce dicha representación.Abstract: The basic representation of economic activity usually consists of a set of markets, where agents supply and demand goods. One mechanism, generally price variations, makes total supply equal to total demandon every market. Such a situation is defined as equilibrium. Due to the still unresolved difficulties to prove convergence towards equilibrium, this paper aims to provide an alternative basic representation. Given that a set of markets in equilibrium is a representation stemming from real analysis, where goods are the starting point of every theorization, the alternative representation is built upon money. The latter as a starting point thus gives rise to monetary analysis. The conception of money in monetary analysis, as a unit that allows economic magnitudes to be expressed, and as the means to settle the transactions associated with those magnitudes, leads to a basic representation in terms of an evolving network of payments. The paper then clarifies the theoretical status of goods once given such a basic representation.
