ABSTRACT: This is a brief reply to “The Marginal Efficiency of Capital: Rejoinder.” I explain that I never intended to defend Keynes against Fuller’s (2013) criticism. Rather, I intended to highlight that Keynes’s conclusions rest on a key shortcoming in Keynes’s theory: the assumption of sticky factor prices.

KEYWORDS: John Maynard Keynes, marginal efficiency of capital, net present value

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
