| Description: |
The ideal primer for those deterred by the technical nature of many textbooks, this title provides a clear explanation for the enduring popularity of game theory and its increasing centrality to the teaching of economics. |
| Synopsis: |
In recent years game theory has swept through all of the social sciences. Its practitioners have great designs for it, claiming that it offers an opportunity to unify the social sciences and that it it the natural foundation of a rational theory of society. Game Theory is for those who are intrigued but baffled by these claims, and daunted by the technical demands of most introductions to the subject. Requiring no more than simple arithmetic, the book: * Traces the origins of Game Theory and its philosophical premises * Looks at its implications for the theory of bargaining and social contract theory * Gives a detailed exposition of all of the major 'games' including the famous 'prisoner's dilemma' * Analyses cooperative, non cooperative, repeated, evolutionary and experimental games |
