Mr Hawtrey, for example, who attaches great importance to changes in liquid capital, i.e. to undesigned increments (or decrements) in the stock of unsold goods, has suggested a possible definition of investment from which such changes are excluded.

例如，Hawtrey 先生非常重视流动资本，未售商品意外增加（或减少），他提了一个可能投资定义，将此类排除在外。
