Abstract

There is lack of any inherent difference between the theory of financial intermediation and the theory of liquidity preferences. Both are similar in dynamic contexts. Institutional investments bear a direct relationship with the availability of liquidity. Savings have a negligible effect on investments. Keynesian economics explain the finance motives with these perspectives. The debate over the validity of Keynes theory is irrelevant.
