He has a temporary position at a small college in a small town miles from everything except Albany. His students have never read <em>Freakonomics</em>. He thinks he is getting the hang of teaching, but a smart and beautiful young woman in his Economics of Social Issues class is distractingly flirtatious. His research is stagnant, to put it kindly. His search for a tenure-track job looms dauntingly. (The previous visiting assistant professor of economics is now working in a bookstore.) So when a right-wing think tank called the Center to Research Opportunities for a Spiritual Society (CROSS)affiliated with the Salvation Academy for Value Economics (SAVE)wants to publish (and publicize) a paper he wrote as a graduate student showing the benefits of high school abstinence programs, fetchingly retitled Something for Nothing, he ignores his misgivings and accepts happily. After all, publication is the coin of the realm, as a senior colleague puts it.</p><p>But David faces a personal dilemma when his prized results are cast into doubt. The school year is filled with other challenges as well, including faculty politics, a romance with a Knittersville native, running the annual interview gauntlet, and delivering the culminating job talk lecture under trying circumstances. Davids adventures offer an instructive fictional guide for the young economist and an entertaining and comic tale for everyone interested in questions of balancing career and life, success and integrity, and loyalty and desire.</p>...3681822Something for Nothing223290https://www.gandhi.com.mx/something-for-nothing-9780262297967/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3680656/df7cca47-82a6-4328-b5ee-d69fbb69bae4.jpg?v=638385720875200000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20119780262297967_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_<p><strong>A young economic professors adventures in his quest for a tenure-track position and a well-balanced life.</strong></p><p>David Fox (Ph.D. Economics, Columbia, Visiting Assistant Professor at Kester College, Knittersville, New York) is having a stressful year.
