At Harvard, tenure decisions are a matter of life -- or death. For Dennis Gossen, the economics department whiz kid currently being considered for tenure, it's definitely death. When he's turned down by the high-and-mighty Promotion and Tenure Committee, Gossen commits suicide. A Question of Cost Accounting... Or does he? It's hard to imagine why a young man with a brilliant scholarly future -- at Harvard or not -- would come up with an equation in which the opportunity cost of killing himself (a high price, considering his potential earnings) would be outweighed by the emotional cost of failing to receive tenure. ... Or Utility? Then two members of the P and T Committee are murdered, and it becomes clear to Professor Henry Spearman of the Economics Department that the killer must be on the committee. But which of his illustrious colleagues would have significantly increased his -- or her -- utility (i.e., happiness) by murdering a faculty member or two? Or three?

评分这本书不是好的侦探小说,如果你热爱侦探小说的话,也许这会是你读到的最坏的一本。 但是如果当作普通的经济学作品,或者你本来就是想了解一些经济学常识的话,倒是值得选择的。 当然,如果有豆友是马克思主义经济学的忠实信徒,那么这本书将是对你已往的知识的挑战了。 作...
评分 评分现在有太多的方式来了解经济学,但从杀人命案中学习却还是都一次。不得不佩服作者的创新精神,其实读两个经济学家写得侦探小说的时候还是有一点不适应的,说是推理,着眼点与之前的侦探小说大不相同,这里关注的更多的是人的不合理行为,而不是犯罪现场的蛛丝马迹,所以看起来...
