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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45471161712861,"sku":"9780691259352","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9780691259352.jpg?v=1720198522","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9780691259352","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
