English term or phrase: under any rational rate of discounting
Oxford economic historian Avner Offer addresses exactly this task in The Challenge of Affluence. Unaided, argues Offer, individual choices tend to be irredeemably myopic. People favor today too much over tomorrow, in ways that—to an economist—are entirely inexplicable under any rational rate of discounting of the future. Offer’s unique contribution is to suggest that this fallibility has (or in the past had) a social solution. And that solution is precisely what affluence is in the process of eroding.

bajo cualquier tasa racional de la omisión de proveer para el futuro/de indiferencia hacia el futuro


Explanation:
En el contexto de que “la gente favorece en demasía el hoy sobre el mañana”, la frase “discounting of the future” tiene que referirse a “no contar con el futuro”.
