Abstract

From its very first publication in the General Theory, Keynes' liquidity-preference theory of interest has been the subject of debate between those economic scholars who view the determination of the interest rate as depending on the demand and supply of "finance" and those who think of the rate of interest as depending on the demand and supply of money. This dissertation, besides reviewing some of the highlights of this interest rate controversy, attempts to address and settle some of the issues that were raised in the course of this historical disagreement.
