Description

Game Theory: A Critical Text by Shaun Hargreaves Heap and Yanis Varoufakis provides an accessible introduction to this influential field. The authors aim to demystify game theory, making it easier for readers to understand its applications and implications. The book explores the origins of game theory, its philosophical underpinnings, and its effects on bargaining and social contract theories. It also delves into various types of games, including cooperative, non-cooperative, repeated, evolutionary, and experimental games. By examining these different aspects, readers can gain a deeper understanding of how game theory is used to model human behaviour in various contexts. This book is ideal for those who want to grasp the fundamental principles of game theory without being overwhelmed by technical complexity.
