A picture on the wall of three small buildings: a factory, a warehouse, and a bank.

The three buildings sit in a row, next to one another like eyes and ears. They receive their doses of circulating capital like a magnet, and their electrons are exchanged in accordance with the tendencies and wants of the market.

The program is worked up like a chemical process, and the result of the whole is that the same atoms of wealth fulfill the same function in the different cells of the organization. It is just as though each cell had made one individual step towards the production of a given quantum of gold.

The whole of society receives, whether now in paper or later in gold, a quantum of interest-bearing capital. Or, like the individual who gets rid of his deposits in the bank, one can be said to have violently thrown all of his eggs into one broken basket.
