Marcus Fleming (who died in 1976) was Deputy Director of the research department of the International Monetary Fund for many years; he was already a member of this department during the period of Mundell's affiliation. At approximately the same time as Mundell, Fleming presented similar research on stabilization policy in open economies. As a result, today's textbooks refer to the Mundell-Fleming model. In terms of depth, range and analytical power, however, Mundell's contribution predominates.

Fleming, who turns 90 on November 29, was the founding editor of the Reporter newspaper in 1944, then San Francisco's only fl paper.
Fleming's best friend, dating back to 1935, was Carlton Goodlett, who, at Fleming's urging, moved to San Francisco in 1945 after completing medical school, and set up an office near the Reporter.
Fleming estimates that over the years, his output has been 2000 to 3000 words a week, or about seven million words in print.
