rigorous exploration of how to end inequality
All the contributors to this volume are seriously committed to solving the persistent riddle of economic inequality in advanced economies as well as preventing the undermining of democracy by the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few. To this end, they set out bold proposals which transcend the pitfalls of both corporate capitalism and the now defunct, East European socialisms. Issues such as property rights, housing, school choice, political associations, economic efficiency and the benefits of asset redistribution are all discussed with rigor and clarity by the several contributors. All the topics are excellent counterblasts to the current aopologists for Conservative policies in the era of 'globalization'. This one is a must for all those concerned about the future of economic justice and the evolution of democratic societies.


Game Theory Evolving
Published in Hardcover by Princeton Univ Pr (30 May, 2000)
Author: Herbert Gintis
Amazon base price: $57.50
Average review score:

Not for self study
Yes, this book has lots of problems. That's all. It is a book for those who already know the theory, and definitely not for self study. And it's also very confusing when trying to explain some concepts.

Excellent
Simply outstanding introduction to the theory of games and recent innovations in evolutionary game theory.

The Best Book for Self-study
This book is not for babies, and you cannot simply read it like a novel. But for a self-motivated person who is curious about game theory, it is without parallel! The explanations are complete but not belabored, and the problems are graded from simple to very challenging. The more challenging problems are solved in the back of the book--about a third of the book is devoted to anwswers! Try it--you'll like it.
