Description
"Schelling here offers an early analysis of 'tipping' in social situations involving a large number of individuals." — official citation for the 2005 Nobel Prize
Micromotives and Macrobehavior was originally published over twenty-five years ago, yet the stories it tells feel just as fresh today. The subject of these stories—how small and seemingly meaningless decisions and actions by individuals often lead to significant unintended consequences for a large group—is more important than ever.
In one famous example, Thomas C. Schelling shows that a slight—but not malicious—preference to have neighbours of the same race eventually leads to completely segregated populations.
The updated edition of this landmark book contains a new preface and the author's Nobel Prize acceptance speech.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
New York Times praised the book for transforming economic thought on competition and social welfare, with Robert Frank noting how Schelling changed perspectives on collective outcomes arising from individual behaviour.
