Money - Another Case of what goes around comes around

Economists have come up with some pretty complicated and elaborate explanations and theories about how economies work.  We're not economists, and we make no claim to such knowledge, BUT we do want to talk a little about the role of $$$.  So let's start with a story, one you may have heard before.  It's rather long, but it makes a very important point.

What this is all about is the role of money and how it flows in an economy.  The amount of money in circulation is important, but the speed of the circulation is also very important.  The speed makes a limited amount of money available to more people, and it means that the money eventually can get back to the person that spent it.  What goes around comes around, and the faster that happens, the better.
