Irving Fisher

*Irving Fisher* examines the life and intellectual legacy of American economist and statistician Irving Fisher (1867–1947). Written by Robert W. Dimand, the book charts Fisher's contributions to neoclassical economics alongside the fluctuating reception of his scholarship over the twentieth century.

The volume outlines key conceptual breakthroughs, such as Fisher's Debt-Deflation Theory, and traces their influence on policymaking. It also details the decline of Fisher's professional standing following his incorrect stock market predictions in October 1929 and the rise of Keynesian macroeconomics.

In addition, the work explores how later scholars restored recognition of his significance. It serves readers interested in the twentieth-century transformation of economics.
