具體描述
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?

讀後感
我觉得对经济学一无所知的人应该读读。 当年我是大四下半学期选的钟笑寒的《经济学原理》，他推荐的。然后我立即借来了，据说作者是哈佛的三个教授，他们的名字合起来拼成了这个书的作者名。还是蛮有意思的小书，给我的大四生活留下了一丝美好的回忆。书中的经济学的好多小故...

評分Henry Spielmann通过经济学需求理论洞悉案情并找到杀人凶手，虽说这样的结局有些牵强，但也却释放出理性的光芒。 此书引人入胜之处不在其剧情，而在于凸显经济学在生活中的实用性。经济学教授通过博弈论解释商场的打折现象，通过边际理论解释为什么人们都爱吃自助餐，通过供求...
評分郑磊 http://www.chinavalue.net/charlielzheng/Home.aspx 三位美国经济学家以马歇尔•杰文斯的笔名合写了一部凶杀小说，而且这部作品将情节安排的如此引人入胜，一点不逊色于阿加莎·克里斯蒂笔下的谋杀案。马歇尔被誉为现代西方经济学之父，而杰文斯以边际效用理论...
