She would first ask if they would wave a magic wand that had the power to eliminate the national debt. Soon after joining the Budget Committee, Kelton the deficit owl played a game with the staffers. Unlike a deficit hawk or a deficit dove, Kelton’s deficit owl was “a good mascot for MMT because people associate owls with wisdom and also because owls’ ability to rotate their heads nearly 360 degrees would allow them to look at deficits from a different perspective” (p. When she was first selected, journalists reported that Senator Sanders had hired a “deficit owl”-a new term Kelton had coined. ![]() To illustrate the flavor of the book, we can review Kelton’s reminiscences of serving as chief economist for the Democratic staff on the U.S. The bad news is that Stephanie Kelton has written a book on MMT that is very readable and will strike many readers as persuasive and clever. ![]() The good news is that Stephanie Kelton-economics professor at Stony Brook and advisor to the 2016 Bernie Sanders campaign-has written a book on Modern Monetary Theory that is very readable, and will strike many readers as persuasive and clever.

Only a hundred or so years earlier, Anglo-Norman was still a widely-spoken dialect on English soil. ![]() Putting aside any questions about an ‘ur-Hamlet’, the Shakespearean "translation" of this tale exists in multiple iterations that appear to respond to a second francophone source: the 'Essais' of Michel de Montaigne. This is most likely to have reached Shakespeare via a French translation of a Latin collection of tales by a Danish academic: 'Les Histoires Tragiques' by François de Belleforest. Beneath the question of this play’s three texts and their chronology is a question of origin, which is made more interesting in light of the play’s narrative source, the Amleth myth. This paper considers Shakespeare’s use of non-Anglophone sources and dialect within 'Hamlet'.

![]() ![]() What the author doesn't do as well is characterization. I think a 8-10 year old would think it was hilarious.
