Greg Mankiw

A lot of you used Mankiw's texts for either micro or macro.

He posted a great piece about his mother's life on his blog: child of immigrants, no chance at college, worked as a cosmetologist, bad first marriage, better second marriage, had a gifted son and returned to work to get him into a private school early, eventually retired to the Jersey shore.

You can probably anticipate the punchline:
This is, I am afraid, where the story ends. Last week, Dorothy Theresa Sawchak Mankiw tested positive for Covid-19. Yesterday, she died.
