This 14-volume edition contains the key works and commentary by leading Fisher scholars allowing modern readers access to the major issues in Fisherian economic thought. Irving Fisher (1867-1947) is widely recognized as an important architect of the "pillars and arches" of 20th-century economics and the greatest economist America has produced. During his lengthy career he made pioneering and lasting contributions to general equilibrium theory, and to the theory of capital and interest, to monetary economics and to the analysis of macro-economic instability. He also offered advice on economic policy to public officials and sought to rally public opinion behind a variety of social causes including an extensive correspondence with President Roosevelt. Editorial introductions, drawing heavily on previously unpublished archival material, set each of the major works in context, and editorial postscripts survey their reception by contemporaries.

Industry Reviews

'These superbly edited volumes are a fitting tribute to one of the greatest, some would say the greatest, economist that America has produced. Every one of Fisher's five major works and four of his minor works, as well as a dozen or more of his most important papers are reprinted here with explanatory introductions, samples of the original reviews they received, as well as the private reactions they produced among Fisher's friends and colleagues. In addition, many of Fisher's letters to the great and the near great are included, which reveal Fisher's relentless efforts to influence policy makers... The editorial work on those 14 volumes is a model of its kind: the introductions say just enough and not too much to motivate the items included, and the choice of letters to reprint from the various archives serves to illuminate Fisher's writings and to bring home to the reader how closely he was in touch with other economists and politicians around the world. William Barber, Robert Dimand, Kevin Foster and James Tobin are to be congratulated on a thankless task skilfully executed.' - Mark Blaug, Research in the History of Economic Thought and Methodology 'The first question anyone will ask of this edition is whether there is significant value added for libraries that are already well stocked with Fisher's publications. The answer is an unambiguous "Yes".' - Roger Backhouse, HET Newsletter 'Every university library, and many departmental reference rooms, ought to acquire it without delay' - David Laidler, The Economic Journal
