...there were only more contact between departments, there could also be significant fusion of ideas. Anthropology gives a meaningful critique of neo-classical economics and its limitations, while economic approaches can be used to model such gendered topics as marriage, divorce and fertility...

The social commentary was kept at arm's length by her neo-Brechtian stylization; director Richard Foreman's deep-space staging (at New York City's Public Theater) made it haunting...
