{"product_id":"theory-of-games-and-economic-behavior-by-john-von-neumann-9780691130613","title":"Theory of Games and Economic Behavior","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the classic work upon which modern-day game theory is based. What began more than sixty years ago as a modest proposal that a mathematician and an economist write a short paper together blossomed, in 1944, when Princeton University Press published \u003cem\u003eTheory of Games and Economic Behavior\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn it, John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern conceived a groundbreaking mathematical theory of economic and social organization, based on a theory of games of strategy. Not only would this revolutionise economics, but the entirely new field of scientific inquiry it yielded—game theory—has since been widely used to analyse a host of real-world phenomena, from arms races to optimal policy choices of presidential candidates, from vaccination policy to major league baseball salary negotiations. Today, it is established throughout both the social sciences and a wide range of other sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis sixtieth anniversary edition includes not only the original text but also an introduction by Harold Kuhn, an afterword by Ariel Rubinstein, and reviews and articles on the book that appeared at the time of its original publication in the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e, the \u003cem\u003eAmerican Economic Review\u003c\/em\u003e, and a variety of other publications. Together, these writings provide readers a matchless opportunity to more fully appreciate a work whose influence will yet resound for generations to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47608120738028,"sku":"9780691130613","price":160.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/f4eff2678e257da2bed856414ee6b39c.jpg?v=1778185461","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/theory-of-games-and-economic-behavior-by-john-von-neumann-9780691130613","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
