Stanley Fischer (1943–2025) was a preeminent macroeconomist, central banker, and mentor to a generation of economists. Born in Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia), he earned his PhD at MIT, where he later taught, co-authoring the seminal textbook 'Macroeconomics' with Rudiger Dornbusch. He served as Chief Economist at the World Bank, First Deputy Managing Director of the IMF, and Governor of the Bank of Israel, where he steered the economy through the 2008 global financial crisis.
