my nomination for best-ever review of Death of a Salesman by an economist (Gene Epstein, in today's Barron's: 'This Pulitzer prize-winning play isn't about a salesman at all, and is even less concerned with the evils of capitalism. It's mainly an account of an unemployable nut-case too lamebrained to know that if he bought his place in in Brooklyn years before the area got built up, then he can sell his land for a small fortune and retire to Florida, instead of killing himself for the life insurance. Especially since, as we learn more than once, his mortgage is all paid off.' interactive.wsj.com Wow, what would Epstein have done with O. Henry? While I have your attention, I do recommend his Gift of the Magi. When it comes to giving, the Magi showed the way and theirs is really the only economics worth a hill of beans at this time of year or any other.
