Irving Fisher's treatise on Eugenics - the process of improving human genetic qualities thought favorable through selective breeding - summarizes the practice and defends it from detractors. A strong advocate of eugenics since soon after its inception in the 1880s, Irving Fisher would frequently give talks where he passionately advanced the idea. The notion of selective breeding generated rumors and reproach almost from the inception; a good portion of this tract is aimed at debunking rumors that had sprung up. As a historical text shedding insight into eugenics in the United States, Irvine Fisher's thoughts are a useful source. The author effectively presents the core arguments and justifications, quoting Mendelian genetics and giving examples of selective breeding in species other than humans. Fisher would go on to found the American Eugenics Society and serve as its first President in the 1920s.

Irving Fisher (February 27, 1867 - April 29, 1947) was an American economist, statistician, inventor, and Progressive social campaigner. He was one of the earliest American neoclassical economists, though his later work on debt deflation has been embraced by the Post-Keynesian school. Joseph Schumpeter described him as "the greatest economist the United States has ever produced", 2] an assessment later repeated by James Tobin and Milton Friedman. Fisher made important contributions to utility theory and general equilibrium. He was also a pioneer in the rigorous study of intertemporal choice in markets, which led him to develop a theory of capital and interest rates. His research on the quantity theory of money inaugurated the school of macroeconomic thought known as "monetarism." Fisher was also a pioneer of econometrics, including the development of index numbers. Some concepts named after him include the Fisher equation, the Fisher hypothesis, the international Fisher effect, the Fisher separation theorem and Fisher market. Fisher was perhaps the first celebrity economist, but his reputation during his lifetime was irreparably harmed by his public statements, just prior to the Wall Street Crash of 1929, claiming that the stock market had reached "a permanently high plateau". His subsequent theory of debt deflation as an explanation of the Great Depression, as well as his advocacy of full-reserve banking and alternative currencies, were largely ignored in favor of the work of John Maynard Keynes

Mathematical Investigations in the Theory of Value and Prices, written by Irving Fisher and originally published in 1892, is a seminal work in the field of economics. The book is a technical examination of the principles of value and prices, using mathematical models to explore the relationship between supply and demand, and to analyze the factors that determine the price of goods and services. Fisher's approach to economics was highly innovative for its time, and his work laid the foundation for modern microeconomic theory. In Mathematical Investigations, he introduces the concept of marginal utility, which states that the value of a good or service is determined by the satisfaction it provides to the consumer. He also explores the relationship between prices and production costs, and the role of competition in determining prices. The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the basic principles of value and prices, including the concept of marginal utility and the law of supply and demand. The second part explores the relationship between prices and production costs, and the factors that influence the cost of production. The third part examines the role of competition in determining prices, and the ways in which market forces impact the economy. Throughout the book, Fisher uses mathematical models to illustrate his arguments, making it a highly technical and complex work. However, his insights into the principles of value and prices have been highly influential in shaping modern economic theory, and his work remains an important reference for economists and scholars today.

The Theory of Interest as Determined by Impatience to Spend Income and Opportunity to Invest It is a book written by Irving Fisher, an American economist. The book is a detailed analysis of the economic concept of interest rates and how they are determined by various factors. Fisher argues that interest rates are primarily determined by two factors: impatience to spend income and opportunity to invest it. He explains how these two factors interact with each other to determine the interest rate in a given economy. The book is divided into several chapters, each covering a different aspect of the theory of interest. Fisher begins by defining what interest is and why it exists in the economy. He then goes on to explain how interest rates are determined by the supply and demand for loanable funds. Fisher also explores the role of inflation and risk in determining interest rates. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both economists and non-economists alike. It is a seminal work in the field of economics and has had a significant impact on the development of economic theory. The Theory of Interest as Determined by Impatience to Spend Income and Opportunity to Invest It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex workings of the economy.

The Money Illusion is a book written by Irving Fisher, a renowned economist, in 1928. The book explores the concept of money illusion, which refers to the tendency of people to focus on nominal values of money rather than real values. Fisher argues that people often mistake changes in nominal values for changes in real values, leading to economic misunderstandings and policy errors. In the book, Fisher discusses various examples of money illusion, including the impact of inflation on wages and prices, the effects of changes in exchange rates on trade, and the role of interest rates in investment decisions. He also examines the historical context of money illusion, including the aftermath of World War I and the Great Depression. The Money Illusion offers insights into the behavior of individuals, businesses, and governments in relation to money and finance. Fisher's analysis provides a framework for understanding economic phenomena and offers practical solutions for policymakers and investors. The book remains a classic in the field of economics and is still relevant today. This is a new release of the original 1929 edition.
