Note 342 — Chapter XV
Reading edition
The criticisms I should make of the present formulations of the time-preference theory of interest, as presented by Böhm-Bawerk, Fetter and Fisher, rest on the individualistic method of approach, and are at many points analogous to the criticisms I have made of the utility theory of value. These criticisms need not affect the points at issue here. On the particular point involved, I agree with Fisher that the productivity theory gives a wrong answer.
