摘要

米塞斯经济理论中最容易被忽视和分析最少的要素之一是他的原始利益概念。这与威克塞尔提出并由后来的经济学家发展起来的自然利率理论不同。后一个概念是由市场过程内生决定的,并倾向于在假设的均衡条件下表现出来。对米塞斯来说,原始利益的概念是经济的外生概念。也不是政府干预的结果。它决定经济状况,而不是被经济状况所决定。从米塞斯的著作中,它的来源从来没有完全清楚,尽管米塞斯似乎认为它有一种与生俱来的品质。本文认为,原始兴趣的基础是人类物种的进化适应。关于为什么会出现这种情况,以及原始兴趣在帮助进化发展中可能发挥的作用,人们进行了讨论。然后将米塞斯的原始利益概念与凯恩斯的流动性偏好理论进行比较,两者有许多相似之处。最后,本文提出的理论结构被用来建议解决经济学和社会科学与其他学科的一致性问题的方法。

Mises, Keynes, and Darwin: An Hypothesis on Interest Rates
One of the most overlooked and least analyzed elements of Mises’ economic theory is his concept of originary interest. This is distinct from the theory of the natural rate of interest proposed by Wicksell and developed by subsequent economists. The latter concept is determined endogenously by market processes and tends to manifest itself under hypothetical equilibrium conditions. For Mises, the concept of originary interest is exogenous to the economy. Neither does it result from government intervention. It determines economic conditions, rather than being determined by them. Its provenance is never completely clear from Mises’ work, although Mises seems to think that it has an innate quality. It is suggested in this paper that the basis of originary interest is in an evolutionary adaptation of the human species. There is a discussion as to why this might arise and the role originary interest might play in aiding evolutionary development. Comparison is then made between Mises’ concept of originary interest and Keynes’ theory of liquidity preference with which it shares many similarities. Finally, the theoretical structure presented is utilized to suggest approaches to the problem of consilience of economics and the social sciences in general with other disciplines.
