Abstract

Most legal literature on money interest assumes a set of distinctions in order to describe the problems included in that area and to propose preferable normative choices. Those distinctions, often implicitly, are deemed objective and natural rather than merely instrumental. Legal scholars are used to think, e. g, that certain interest rate must be considered excessive in relation to every case in which issues of certain kind of interests are involved, neglecting every discussion about the classification criteria employed to construct that reasoning. This works aims to discuss the so supposed objectivity and naturalness of the distinction between several classes of interest and to analyze the general criteria useful to deal with diverse individual cases implying problems traditionally included in the scope of the money interest.
