{"product_id":"schellings-game-theory-robert-v-dodge-9780199857203","title":"Schelling's Game Theory: How to Make Decisions","description":"Thomas Schelling, who wrote the foreword for this book, won the Nobel Prize in economics for \"having enhanced our understanding of conflict and cooperation through game-theory analysis.\" This came after he had taught a course in game theory and rational choice to advanced students and government officials for 45 years. In this book, Robert Dodge provides in language for a broad audience, the concepts that Schelling taught. Armed with Schelling's understanding of game theory methods and his approaches to problems, the general reader can improve daily decision making. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMathematics often make game theory challenging but was not a major part of Schelling's course and is even less of a factor in this book. Along with a summary of the material Schelling presented, included are problems from the course and similar less challenging questions. While considerable analysis is done with the basic game theory tool--the two-by-two matrix--much of the book is descriptive and rational decision-making is explained with stories. Chapter supplements are added to illuminate points presented by Schelling, including writings by Paul Krugman, Thomas Friedman, Steven Levitt, and others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert V.
