Widely acknowledged as the chief architect of modern neoclassical economics, he was a writer and teacher of prodigious scope and output whose business career included the earning of a fortune from the invention of a card index system, and its subsequent loss in the Great Crash. He was also an active campaigner for numerous causes, including world peace, prohibition, preventive medicine, eugenics, and 100 percent deposit reserve money. This biography, focusing both on Fisher's personal life, as well as his intellectual contributions, will be of wide interest to economist of particular interest to American economics scholars who regard him as their pre-1950 giant of the discipline.
