Synopsis
Excerpt from Economics: Lesson 11
Distribution, in its economic sense, means the division of all produced wealth among those who have directly or indirectly contributed to that production. The economic term has nothing whatever to do with the popular sense of the word. One may say, in popular language; that a rail road is a distributor of commodities, but in the economic sense, such distribution of commodities is only a particular type of production - the creation oi place utilities. In the same way we might speak of the proprietor of a great store as a distributor of commodities; in economic language, however, he 1s a producer of possession-utilities.
