Reviewer Comment: This is a response to
Mateusz Machaj's comments that he published in his book - Money, Interest
and the Structure of Production in 2017. In that book Machaj critized von
Mises's theory of time preference. He claimed that time preference exists only
in certain conditions. He also critized von Mises for failing to write a
coherent explaination for the spread beween the prices of inputs and output in
the production process. Manish sets out to argue that von Mises's theory is
valid and his explaination is also valid.
