This idea is the foundation for classical economic analysis of human behavior, including the awesome achievements of game theory. But as behavioral economics shows, most behavior doesn't seem rational at all--which, unfortunately, casts doubt on game theory's real-world credibility. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHidden Games\u003c\/i\u003e, Moshe Hoffman and Erez Yoeli find a surprising middle ground between the hyperrationality of classical economics and the hyper-irrationality of behavioral economics. They call it hidden games. Reviving game theory, Hoffman and Yoeli use it to explain our most puzzling behavior, from the mechanics of Stockholm syndrome and internalized misogyny to why we help strangers and have a sense of fairness. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFun and powerfully insightful, \u003ci\u003eHidden Games\u003c\/i\u003e is an eye-opening argument for using game theory to explain all the irrational things we think, feel, and do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erez Yoeli, Moshe Hoffman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1541619471\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781541619470\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 5.70w x 1.40d","brand":"Erez Yoeli","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44047939666175,"sku":"9781541619470","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3e3b974a-03e6-45e4-98d9-5274b3fde62b.jpg?v=1684993013","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hidden-games-erez-yoeli-9781541619470","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
