Mathematical Investigations in the Theory of Value and Prices

Focusing on Irving Fisher's groundbreaking contributions to economics, this book highlights his pioneering work in the theory of general equilibrium, stemming from his 1892 Yale thesis. As a prominent figure in American neoclassical economics, Fisher's insights on debt deflation later resonated with the Post-Keynesian school. The reprint includes a preface by Fisher from the 1925 edition, emphasizing his mathematical prowess and social concerns that shaped his economic theories, which were highly regarded by notable European economists of his time.
