### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic mystery with economics as a side benefit
*by R***. on March 22, 2014*

This is a mystery with all the features of a classic mystery. Since the protagonist is an economist (and it was written by a professor of economics who really knows the material) the motivation is given based on economics theory. The book is scattered with examples of economics thoughts, largely in context (though if you think about it as a book rather than being absorbed by the story you realize the author designed the story to have a place to put the economics). The economics theory is interesting in its own right and short enough pieces that it isn't irritating. Don't let the economics shorts distract you from the fact that this is a full blown mystery!Enjoy the mystery and the science.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ dynamic equilibrium
*by M***E on November 30, 2015*

This mystery was not that much of a mystery, per se, since several clues made the trend of the book rather straightforward. Nevertheless, intellectually, the book is pretty interesting. There are multiple facets, related to economics, but the focus for the book is a kind of "trial" of classical economics, symbolized by the character trying to obtain tenure, before the viewpoints of the spectrum of social sciences, also symbolized by various people on the faculty of Harvard University, which, in itself, was a symbol of "ultimate" current prestige. The various points of view conflict and interact to create the "fatal equilibrium" of the title. I thought the book was a lot of fun, and a little intellectual feast as well.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Economist fiction
*by M***R on July 17, 2001*

Fatal Equilibrium reminded me of early science fiction (written by scientists about scientists for an audience of other scientists). This book is definitely written by an economist about economists. If you're part of that clique, it's a great book.Not everyone will consider it light reading, though. If you don't have at least one econ class somewhere in your background, some significant parts of the book (and the plot) will go over your head. There were sections that felt like they were cut-and-pasted right from the author's lecture notes. I kept hoping that the book would be more like Larry Niven's work - grounded in theory, but first and foremost, a gripping story with compelling characters. I'd rather absorb my knowledge along the way than be lectured to.I enjoyed it and I'll read it again.
