Irreversible microeconomics: Optimal processes and equilibrium in closed systems

Consideration is given to equilibrium conditions and processes controlled by the go-between in closed economic systems. Specific features of such systems are emphasized as compared to thermodynamic systems. Constraints on the set of equilibrium states are obtained in isolated systems and systems that are open in basis resource. Optimality conditions for purchases and sales are formulated and a limiting volume of the gaining basis resource is obtained; the existence of the function of economic agent welfare is proved.
