[edit] Rolodex?
Who invented the Rolodex? This page says Irving Fisher, but Arnold Neustadter states that Neustadter invented the Rolodex. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.118.117.0 (talk • contribs) .
[edit] Caught in the Crash
isn't this the guy who predicted that the stocks had reached a plauteau just before the crash? where's that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.5.28.153 (talk • contribs)
- Well, he did strongly suggest that the economy as whole had achieved a new, higher base level. And he lost Big Bucks in the crash. —SlamDiego←T 15:46, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fisher, Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk, and time preference
Fisher's theory was a formalization and simplification of the work of Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk — and Fisher largely acknowledged as much. The notion that time preference has some significance long predates either man. Fisher himself did not see how to integrate time preference into his formalization — the 45° line is the axis of symmetry for his indifference curve. It was Hans Mayer (a protégé of Friedrich von Wieser) who noted that Fisher's model could be made to accommodate time-preference by changing that. —SlamDiego←T 05:19, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
