The Nature of Capital and Income

Consulting Editor James Tobin

Schumpeter regarded The Nature of Capital and Income as one of the three of Fisher’s contributions to general theory generally recognized, at the time Schumpeter was writing, as “of first-class importance and originality.” The other two were Fisher’s Mathematical Investigations (1892) and his statistical method for measuring the marginal utility of income (1927). Actually Schumpeter cites, as if still another, Fisher’s theory of interest – presented in The Rate of Interest (1907) and The Theory of Interest (1930) – but it is not quite clear whether he gives it full rank.
