The first part provides an overview of Fisher's theories, including his ideas on interest rates, investment, and savings. Veblen examines the strengths and weaknesses of Fisher's arguments and provides his own insights into the nature of capital and income.The second part of the book focuses on the practical applications of Fisher's theories. Veblen discusses the implications of Fisher's ideas for economic policy and explores how they can be used to promote economic growth and stability.Overall, Fisher's Capital and Income is a comprehensive and insightful analysis of one of the most important economic theories of the 20th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in economics, finance, or public policy.The concept has sufficient stability and precision to serve their needs; and, if the economist is to deal with the phenomena of modern life in which this concept serves a use of first-rate importance, he must take the term and the concept as he finds them. It is idle fatigue to endeavor to normalise them into a formula which may suit his prepossessions but which is not true to life.
