("Marshall Jevons" is a psuedonym for two economics professors.) No, it's not great literature; but it's a great addition to any introductory economics course or a not-quite-guilty pleasure for a day at the beach. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

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?
