Fun and Games [antikvár]

Preface Game theory is an activity like skiing or tennis that is only fun if you try to do it well. But learning to do something well is seldom quick and easy, and game theory is no exception. Moreover, unlike skiing or tennis, it really matters that we learn to use game theory well. Its aim is to investigate the manner in which rational people should interact when they have conflicting interests. So far, it provides answers only in simple situations, but these answers have already led to a fundamental restructuring of the way in which economic theorists think about the world, and the time is perhaps not too far distant when the same will be true for afl the social sciences. Thus, although I have tried to develop the theory with a light touch, this is a serious book about a serious subject. VII
