Synopsis

Described by Contemporary Psychology as “the best book available for non-mathematicians”, this volume sets out a clear, wide-ranging guide to game theory as it is applied to the social sciences. Coverage includes utility theory, two-person zero-sum and non-zero-sum games, and n-person games, alongside discussion of individual and group decision-making.

Appendixes and a bibliography support further study, with graphs and figures used to clarify key ideas. Suitable for readers seeking an accessible route into game theory without a heavily mathematical approach.
