Description
Rational Choice by Itzhak Gilboa is an accessible introduction to the rational choice paradigm, exploring its fundamental insights applicable in various fields. This concise and rigorous guide draws on microeconomics, decision making, games, and social choice, as well as ideas from philosophy, psychology, and sociology. Gilboa argues that economic theory has provided powerful models and broad insights into everyday life. The book focuses on basic concepts of the rational choice paradigm, explaining key ideas in a non-technical manner. Chapters cover topics such as feasibility and desirability, utility maximization, constrained optimization, and games and equilibria. An online appendix provides additional material, including a survey of relevant mathematical concepts.
