First published in 1920, this book offers a proposal for a monetary policy to stabilize the value of the US dollar and prevent inflation. It argues that a central authority should adjust the quantity of money in circulation to keep the general price level stable, rather than trying to control individual prices or relying on gold reserves. The book provides a detailed explanation of the theory behind this approach and addresses many practical issues related to its implementation.

To one who has been an eye-witness of the wonderful achievements of American medical science in the conquest of acute communicable and pestilential diseases in those regions of the earth where they were supposed to be impregnably entrenched, there is the strongest possible appeal in the present rapidly growing movement for the improvement of physical efficiency and the conquest of chronic diseases of the vital organs. Through the patient, intelligent and often heroic work of our army medical men, and the staff of the United States Public Health Service, death-rates supposedly fixed have been cut in half. While it is true that to the public mind there is a more lurid and spectacular menace in such diseases as small-pox, yellow fever and plague, medical men and public health workers are beginning to realize that, with the warfare against such maladies well organized, it is now time to give attention to the heavy loss from lowered physical efficiency and chronic, preventable disease, a loss exceeding in magnitude that sustained from the more widely feared communicable diseases. The insidious encroachment of the chronic diseases that sap the vitality of the individual and impair the efficiency of the race is a matter of increasing importance. The mere extension of human life is not only in itself an end to be desired, but the well digested scientific facts presented in this volume clearly show that the most direct and effective means of lengthening human life are at the same time those that make it more livable and add to its power and capacity for achievement. Many years ago, Disraeli, keenly alive to influences affecting national prosperity, stated: "Public Health is the foundation on which reposes the happiness of the people and the power of a country. The care of the public health is the first duty of a statesman." It may well be claimed that the care of individual and family health is the first and most patriotic duty of a citizen. These are the considerations that have influenced me to co-operate 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.

Irving Fisher (February 27, 1867 - April 29, 1947) was an American economist, statistician, inventor, and Progressive social campaigner. He was one of the earliest American neoclassical economists, though his later work on debt deflation has been embraced by the Post-Keynesian school. Joseph Schumpeter described him as "the greatest economist the United States has ever produced", [2] an assessment later repeated by James Tobin and Milton Friedman. Fisher made important contributions to utility theory and general equilibrium. He was also a pioneer in the rigorous study of intertemporal choice in markets, which led him to develop a theory of capital and interest rates. His research on the quantity theory of money inaugurated the school of macroeconomic thought known as "monetarism." Fisher was also a pioneer of econometrics, including the development of index numbers. Some concepts named after him include the Fisher equation, the Fisher hypothesis, the international Fisher effect, the Fisher separation theorem and Fisher market.Fisher was perhaps the first celebrity economist, but his reputation during his lifetime was irreparably harmed by his public statements, just prior to the Wall Street Crash of 1929, claiming that the stock market had reached "a permanently high plateau". His subsequent theory of debt deflation as an explanation of the Great Depression, as well as his advocacy of full-reserve banking and alternative currencies, were largely ignored in favor of the work of John Maynard Keynes

""Stabilizing the Dollar"" is a book written by Irving Fisher, an American economist, in 1920. The book proposes a plan to stabilize the general price level of goods and services without fixing individual prices. Fisher argues that a stable price level is essential for economic stability and growth, and that fluctuations in the value of the dollar are the primary cause of economic instability. The book outlines Fisher's plan, which involves the creation of a central bank that would regulate the supply of money in the economy to maintain a stable price level. This would be achieved through the use of open market operations, where the central bank would buy and sell government securities to adjust the money supply. Fisher argues that this plan would have several benefits, including reducing the risk of inflation and deflation, increasing economic growth, and promoting international trade. He also addresses potential criticisms of the plan, such as concerns about the role of government in the economy and the impact on individual businesses. Overall, ""Stabilizing the Dollar"" is a seminal work in the field of monetary economics and remains relevant today as policymakers continue to grapple with the challenge of maintaining price stability in the face of economic uncertainty.Report Of The Committee On War Finance Of The American Economic Association.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
