Finally, note that 1 ≥ λ1(1 + r) > λ2(1 + r) and let b* be the value of b such that λ1(1 + r) = µ1. Then we can conclude that for all b ∈ [0, b*] money capital grows without bounds. QED The assumption that 1/(1 + r) ≥ λ1 plays no role if b = 0: if capitalists do not consume, then a positive interest rate is sufficient for money capital to increase exponentially. Another way to put this is that a profit rate above the rate of interest allows some room for capitalists’ consumption without necessarily affecting accumulation.
