Economic relationships are usually recorded by formal processes concerning financial transactions that revolve, directly or indirectly, around the state.

In some cases we have to deal with speeches in the Assembly relating to the economy or with reports of experts on financial matters. In other cases there are reports of citizens to institutional vehicles such as the National Bank or various contracts. Such discourses are articulated by means of the special linguistic codes relevant to the field of economic transactions and political power, through the 'formal' discourse of each period.
