Think of the. " by an invisible hand "
or as if money ...whatever that might be framed into
Has something well captured by the word velocity
for that matter any of GT Keynes aggregates
like Y I C N
Trying to drop the " as if " and plowing into making policy
can take you right down the rabbit hole
On the other hand
retaining the "AS IF" brackets
Suggests you set up some pretty sharp real time info feed back systems
Of course in the public square chatter dropping the as it's can be like
playing catch with a Bowie knife
