The importance of money in a
capitalist economy
Money and the price mechanism in a capitalist economy
-
The most significant role of money lies in the functioning of the price
mechanism. The price system functions through prices of goods and
services. Prices determine the production of innumerable or uncountable
goods and services.
They organize production and help in the distribution of goods and
services. Since prices are expressed in money, the price mechanism under
capitalism can not function without money.
Importance in Consumption
–
Under capitalism, the consumer is the king who buys only those
commodities which give him the maximum satisfaction with a given money
income. This he does by equalizing the marginal utilities of different goods
he wishes to buy.
When the price of each commodity expressed in money equals its marginal
utility, the consumer gets maximum satisfaction. Thus money enables or
gives a consumer to make a rational choice out of the various commodities
he wants to buy with his given money income
Importance in Production
–
Money is equally important for the producer who buys and sells inputs and
outputs in terms of money. (i) The use of money enables a producer to
concern trade on the organization of the production process. (ii) It also help
in borrowing and lending which are essential part of production process.
Importance in Distribution
–
Money is also plays an important role in the process of distribution of national
income among various factors of production in the form of wages, rent, profit and
interest. All these incomes are measured received in terms of money.
Basis of Credit
–
The entire capitalist system of production is based on credit. Credit instruments
are a form of money which is issued by banks to facilitate trade, commerce,
industry, agriculture, transport, etc. under capitalism.
Money plays a crucial role in a capitalist economy by facilitating the price mechanism, consumption decisions, production activities, and income distribution. It enables rational choices for consumers, trade organization for producers, and serves as the basis for credit systems. Without money, the capitalist system would not function effectively.
