Economic and social meaning of the duality principle

Abstract

Duality principle is the most important fundamental principle in accounting. It means in the broad context the equality between assets and the sum of owners’ equity and liabilities. The aim of the paper is to translate this meaning to the macroeconomics. For the economic system the duality principle means the equality between the work performed by the employee and the salary paid. This basic rule can assure the stability in the economic system in the social and economic context. To reach this aim it is essential to introduce the new definitions of capital, money and value, that comes from labourism (economy driven by labour). The motions from the conducted analysis are leading to the new way of computing remunerations and to the new understanding of the money-goods economy.
