Abstract
The analysis of the relationship between the rates of interest and profit deals with how to integrate the theory of money with the theory of value and distribution. Different views on this subject reflect alternative positions expressed in the debates over these theories. They describe how changes in the financial markets affect the production process and vice versa, and have different policy implications.
