While the Keynesians can flaunt the master's classic, General Theory, and the monetarists can flourish Milton Friedman's A Monetary History of the United States, the closest that the new economists have to such a tome is a 651-page text, Macroeconomics, by Dornbusch and Stanley Fischer, 35, both professors at M.I.T. Published in 1977, it has become the largest selling advanced economics text.

But her private life remains largely a mystery-as does Hone's reason for calling this a "literary biography," since it fails to analyze the books...
...incorrect to regard Ariel and Caliban as polarities. They are undeniably contrasted; but they also share a number of traits, such as distaste for physical labor, a yearning for freedom, a delight in pranks, a love of nature, an appreciation of music, and a fear of their master.
