Irving Fisher was a prominent American economist recognized for his significant contributions to neoclassical economics, utility theory, and general equilibrium. He led the way in exploring intertemporal choice in markets and formulated theories on capital, interest rates, and the quantity theory of money. Although his work on debt deflation and promotion of full-reserve banking were initially overlooked, they have now gained recognition in academic spheres. Fisher is widely regarded as a trailblazer in econometrics and macroeconomic thinking, with key concepts like the Fisher equation and the international Fisher effect bearing his name.
