If Mill were taken literally the whole definition would
end up as a mere tautology. For in order to discover how
often a certain sum of money changes hands in effecting the
sale and purchase of a given quantity of goods, it is neces-
sary to know the average price of the goods in question,
which is precisely the quantity for the determination of

the (amount and) velocity of circulation of money
are to be utilised. In other words, velocity of circulation
as defined by Mill could not be regarded as an independent
factor in the determination of average price.
