Arriving at San Antonio's Monte Vista University to teach a course on art and economics, he is confronted with a puzzling art theft and the suspicious suicide of the school's artist-in-residence. From Texas to New York, Spearman traces the connections between economics and the art world, finding his clues in monopolies, auction theory, and Adam Smith. How is a company's capital like an art museum's collection? What does the market say about art's authenticity versus its availability? What is the mysterious \"death effect\"--and does it lie at the heart of the case? Spearman must rely on his savviest economic thinking to answer these questions--and pin down a killer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marshall Jevons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691173087\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691173085\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Marshall Jevons","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048493871359,"sku":"9780691173085","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f64d1788-7dc7-4ab7-b263-7d36ce9f9160.jpg?v=1684996088","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-mystery-of-the-invisible-marshall-jevons-9780691173085","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
