The Importance of Time Preference

What are the main differences between classical and modern architecture? Is it a coincidence that the century of fiat was the century of modern architecture? Does easy money discourage building for the long-term? Is modern architecture more efficient, or is to just architecture of a higher time preference society? We are joined by Michael Diamant, the founder of The New Traditional Architecture online community to discuss these questions and much more!
