Irving Fisher

    Irving Fisher était un économiste américain dont les travaux ont jeté les bases de nombreuses théories économiques modernes. Il a apporté des contributions significatives à la théorie de l'utilité, à l'équilibre général et a été un pionnier dans l'étude rigoureuse du choix intertemporel sur les marchés, ce qui a conduit à sa théorie du capital et des taux d'intérêt. Ses recherches sur la théorie quantitative de la monnaie sont considérées comme l'origine du monétarisme. Bien que sa réputation ait été entachée par ses prédictions boursières, ses théories ultérieures sur la déflation de la dette et ses travaux sur le capital et les intérêts restent influents.

      Irving Fisher's interest in public health was the result of a bout with tuberculosis, after which he wrote "How to Rules for Healthful Living Based on Modern Science". In his foreword to the book, former president and then-future Chief Justice William Howard Taft wrote that there were many "considerations that have influenced me to cooperate with the life extension movement, and to commend this volume to the earnest consideration of all who desire authoritative guidance in improving their own physical condition or in making effective the knowledge now available for bringing health and happiness to our people." To do that, the authors present chapters on the air, food, poisons, activities, and general hygiene, followed by sections dealing with being overweight or underweight, alcohol, posture, and tobacco -- and even how to avoid colds. Irving Fisher was a top American economist in the early 20th century who earned the first Ph.D. in economics awarded by Yale University, where he also taught political economy. He was an accomplished mathematician and an engaging and talented writer on even the most technical of subjects whose investigations ranged beyond economics to encompass astronomy, health and hygiene, mechanics, philosophy, poetry, science, and myriad public policy issues. Dr. Eugene Lyman Fisk was the chairman of the Life Extension Institute, under whose auspices this book was published.
