The Economics of Villainy

Monday, June 22, 2009 - 12:00 AM


Leave it to an economist to ruin a perfectly good thing.

Henchperson Myrdinn passed along this link to a blog that discusses comics from the framework of economics. Perfect fit for Evil Inc, no?

In all seriousness, if my college Econ class woulda been taught like this, I mighta been a business major.

Writer ShadowBanker uses utility and game theory to explain why comic-book villains should never team up when trying to vanquish their chosen white-cape.

And, believe it or not, it's pretty easy to follow.

Unfortunately, that's where many of the best stories are, so let's be happy that Joker never studied economics.
