About this ebook

Economics professor and amateur detective Henry Spearman tackles a mystery where the price of art is murder

In The Mystery of the Invisible Hand, Henry Spearman, an economics professor with a knack for solving crimes, is pulled into a case that mixes campus intrigue, stolen art, and murder. 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.

    An engaging narrative, captivating whodunit, and refreshingly readable explanation of economics-as-driven-by-human-motivation. My biggest takeaway is an optimistic reappraisal of the role of private enterprise as the engine of "public good." This epiphany has come rather late in my life ... yet early enough for me to welcome a renewed entrepreneurial spirit into my work and belief system. "Tout est bien qui finit bien." I am very grateful to the author for having written this delightful and stimulating book.
