Our purpose is to set up a dialogue, a scientific exchange, between CIRCULATORY ANALYSIS and SYSTEMS DYNAMICS, since we belive the two -disciplines to be complementary. In fact, we would go so far as to say that S.D. represents the natural development of C.A. We consider there are well-founded reasons to expect the cooperation between the two disciplines to be profitable in helping to subdue the system of economic circulation and to subject it to a rational control.Circulatory Analysis can offer Systems Dynamics the conceptual riguorousness of a theory of circulatory systems developed from solid bases, and even some new concepts which may be very useful (for instance, those of Circulatory Process and Complex Circulation). On the other hand, Systems Dynamics can offer all its engineering capacity to produce working models. In order to show more clearly what Circulatory Analysis is, we have made a small toy, a model constructed to simulate the behavior of the system of economic circulation in a commercial business. It is extremely simple (it is, after all, a toy), but the same methodology used for its design and construction can make it possible to produce machines, that is, simulator models, to any degree of complexity.
