{"product_id":"fatal-equilibrium-a-novel","title":"Fatal Equilibrium: A Novel","description":"At Harvard, tenure decisions are a matter of life -- or death.\n\nFor 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.\n\nA Question of Cost Accounting...\n\nOr 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.\n\n... Or Utility?\n\nThen 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?\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0345331583\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.0345331583.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Jevons, Marshall\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Mass market paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition.
