Abstract:
This paper presents the theory of investment decision under conditions of uncertainty developed by the post-Keynesian school and develops a specific interpretation for the theory of liquidity preference. It is argued that the movement to more liquid assets corresponds to the tendency of capital to achieve valorization without undergoing the process of production. As a result, the concept of uncertainty as the explanation for liquidity preference and for the interest rate can be related to the general formula of capital as presented by Marx.
