Fisher’s Legacy in Economics

Robert Dimand

Chapter Chapter 10 in Irving Fisher, 2019, pp 223-234 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Fisher’s Legacy in Economics: This chapter examines Fisher’s scientific legacy in economics. Fisher’s reputation suffered for decades from his stock market debacle and from the impact of Keynesian macroeconomics, but his importance as the outstanding American economic scientist of the first half of the twentieth century came to be recognized through the advocacy of, among others, Maurice Allais, Milton Friedman, Hyman Minsky, Paul Samuelson, and James Tobin (but not, e.g., Friedman’s coauthor Anna Jacobson Schwartz).
