Hidden Games: The Surprising Power of Game Theory to Explain Irrational Human Be

Description: Hidden Games by Erez Yoeli, Moshe Hoffman, Gary Tiedemann Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Two MIT economists show how game theory--the ultimate theory of rationality--explains irrational behavior We like to think of ourselves as rational. 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 doesnt seem rational at all--which, unfortunately, casts doubt on game theorys real-world credibility. InHidden Games,Moshe Hoffman and Erez Yoeli find a surprising middle groundbetween 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. Fun and powerfully insightful, Hidden Gamesis an eye-opening argument for using game theory to explain all the irrational things we think, feel, and do.
