About This Item
New York: The Macmillan Company,, 1930. Neoclassical interest First edition, first printing, of Fisher's revision and expansion of his 1907 Rate of Interest, together definitively articulating the neoclassical theory of interest and capital. Fisher further develops the ideas of John Rae and Böhm-Bawerk, to whom the book is dedicated; "its greatness as a book lies wholly in its outstanding pedagogic qualities... [which] amounted to the demonstration that the real rate of interest is determined by both demand and supply, by the demand for production and consumption loans on the one hand and the supply of savings on the other" (Blaug, p. 79). This copy is in a variant binding to others we have handled, which had the spine lettered in gilt and the front cover in blind, and the fore and bottom edges untrimmed. Octavo. Original dark blue cloth, spine and front cover lettered in green, edges trimmed. With 3 folding tables, and tipped-in errata slip. Spine a little sunned with minor nicks at head, extremities a little bumped, inner hinges discreetly reglued. A very good copy. Fisher E-1539; IESS 1930a. Mark Blaug, Great Economists Before Keynes, 1997.
