Capital Investments and Financial Strategies of Enterprises
(field of studies: Accounting and Business Finance)

His capital is continually going from him in one shape, and returning to him in another, and it is only by means of such circulation, or successive exchanges, that it can yield him any profit. Such capitals, therefore, may very properly be called circulating capitals.

Capital is money, capital is commodities. … By virtue of it being value, it has acquired the occult ability to add value to itself. It brings forth living offspring, or, at the least, lays golden eggs.

In general it may be said that demand is quite as necessary to the increase of capital as the increase of capital is to demand.
