Theory of Games and Economic Behavior by John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern

Description: Theory of Games and Economic Behavior by John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern Large softcover, 641 pages, illustrated. Third Edition, 1980, First printing, published by Princeton University Press. ISBN 0691993629 I'm pricing this way under market, due to about 6 wrinkly pages (still very readable - see photo) and some underlining or margin lines (also VERY few - such as seen in last photo). Tight binding. Ships well protected. This is the classic work upon which modern-day game theory is based. What began more than eighty 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 Theory of Games and Economic Behavior. In 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 revolutionize economics, but the entirely new field of scientific inquiry it yielded--game theory--has since been widely used to analyze 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. And it is today established throughout both the social sciences and a wide range of other sciences. Please see photos above which can be enlarged by clicking on the image for a close-up view.
