      I think Irving Fisher is universally respected by (not Marxist) economists because conservatives like his pre-depression stuff and liberals and progressives like his post-depression stuff. He lost everything, millions of dollars, in the crash, and he was a fund manager so he also lost millions of other people's money too.
