ABSTRACT
If the economy were actually functioning without ever creating any negative number, production and expenditures could never appear in it, unless of course in the fictitious representations of the “incomes-expenditures” models. Once negative numbers are introduced, we understand at once how the scientific determination of events remains possible even though they don’t have any consistence in the continuum: absolute determination “replaces” relative determinations. In economics, events do not share any neighbouring relations. They can nevertheless be perfectly determined, because of the simultaneous creation of equal positive and negative magnitudes. Any production and any expenditure is an emission, creation-destruction of the same object, the product and the sum spent. Every expenditure creates a product and every production is an expenditure. The theory of emissions embraces the whole field of macroeconomics.
