The paper presents a synthesis of Marx's views on the rate of interest as they appear in Capital. It explores the relationship between the rate of profit, the rate of profit of enterprises and the rate of interest. It attempts to unify Marx's comments on the demand for and supply of money capital in a framework that relates the movements of the rate of interest to those of income and production.
