This book deals with supply-side economics and the needed reorientation it would bring to West German policy. The change, recommended after searching analysis, would add up to an overall strategy for freeing markets, for removing government-imposed distortions, and for using free-market approaches to correct distortions imposed by pressure groups. The strategy would pierce Germany's state-supported encrustations and corporatism. It would equip the country to follow the lead of the United States and Great Britain in starting to escape from the tangle in which taxes, regulations, and unemployment have grown in step. The impending completion of the European internal market in 1992 adds urgency to this task.

Profit is defined as the part of cash flow which may be distributed to owners without impairing the firm's real capital. For a firm with a positive profit stream under constant prices it is shown that inflation may cause negative profits, even if all prices rise with the same rate. This means that it is not sufficient for the preser- vation of real capital if rises in factor prices result in proportional rises of sales prices. This ist due to two effects: The first effect is caused by the necessity to hold cash and other monetary assets for current transactions; the growth of these assets, which is roughly proportional to the price level, has to be financed out of the cash flow thus reducing profit. The second effect is due to taxation; accounting profits are calculated on the basis of historical prices for inventories and depreciation. Financial plan- ning must take into consideration the effects of inflation and try to find counter-strategies. Further the analysis permits some conclusions on the value of the firm and the rate of return on shares. It is shown, that the rate of return on shares will be higher than the rate of inflation (i. e.
