Subject: The Pure Time-Preference Theory of Interest
Dear Walter:
I have searched far and wide, for references, with your take on ‘The Pure Time-Preference Theory of Interest’.
The only reference I found was: “Professor Rothbard and the Theory of Interest.” In Man, Economy, and Liberty. Walter Block and Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr., eds. Auburn, Ala.: Ludwig von Mises Institute, 1988.
I’m writing this asking if there is a reference out there (that I missed) with your take on the PTPF. If there isn’t could you quickly explain your take?
Best regards,
Richard Lechko
