The text analyzes how much cash capital households keep on hand relative to their total capital. It argues that for capitalists the average money on hand stays around a small fixed fraction, while for productive workers it varies with wage income and living costs. It concludes a general law governs the money proportion, set by immutable forces of demand and self interest, largely independent of total money supply.
