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?

評分这是一本好书，看这本书还是需要一点经济学的基础知识。它通过几个其它科系的教授对经济学的学科无涉及道德无涉的强烈批判来反衬出经济学在解释人的行为中的独特优势。 是的，为什么价格被强制限制在市场均衡价格之下，卖面包的人态度就会如此粗俗恶劣？为什么那位父亲在店里...
