Q.352

This lady is an economist, a journalist, and a best-selling author. She holds a chair professorship in business journalism at Columbia University. This is the cover of her second and latest book and it's called "Grand Pursuit: The Story of Economic Genius". The book is a history of economics and the people who served it in various ways.

No mention of the author goes without invoking her first book, published in 1994, because of a film that was made on the book. Who is this lady, or for lesser points, what was her first book?
