Rent and wages and interest and profit are usually paid to the sharers in the distribution of wealth in the form of money, or of purchasing power which is equivalent to money. But the real income consists not of money nor of purchasing power but of the goods which have been produced and which are to be divided among those who have an economic claim to them. The real income consists of things to eat and wear and of such things as houses and carriages and music and lectures and textbooks and sermons. These are the things that are to be divided in the distribution of wealth. But although the various producers are paid finally in bread and clothes and songs and books and sermons, they are not furnished these things directly, but instead they are paid in money for their contribution to the productive process. And they take this money income to the market and procure with it the real income in the form of bread and clothes and songs and books and sermons.
