Books by Irving Fisher
Booms and Depressions
by Irving Fisher
A very good account of how the Boom occurred and how the Depression followed. I think it’s a historical document… I would rank Fisher along with Schumpeter as one of the great economists. He was to a large extent a monetarist, but he realised that expected money supply growth and debt growth would lead to problems.
