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?

读后感
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...
评分侦探小说和经济学普及读物都是我喜欢阅读的类型，这本小说作为两者的结合，自然是不得不看了。看过以后也来发表一下自己的观点。 事实上作为一部侦探小说实在是很一般，没有推理型的谜题设置，也没有惊险型的紧张刺激，甚至作者为了诱导读者而放的烟雾弹看上去也十分蹩...
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...
评分这本书说实话看的很上瘾 我知道很多人对于书的情节很失望，不过，我想，总的来说这应该是一本经济学科普类的学术著作，而不是来娱乐的。 不过很佩服作者的思维，将一个大案子插入经济学的探讨中，连弗里德曼都对本书赞不绝口。 当然，我觉得书中主要想教给读者的太抽象了，...
评分花了一个多星期上下班在地铁上边角料的时间读完了，感觉还不错。如果以侦探小说的角度来说的话，觉得小说写得还是比较一般的，悬念和情节推进都被臃长甚至牵强的经济言论牵扯稀释，特别是最后真凶浮出水面，几乎没有什么精彩的地方在。但是作为经济学的入门读物，因为上面的一...
