| Summary: | Game theory - the study of how people make choices while interacting with others - is one of the most popular technical approaches in social science today. But as Michael Chwe reveals in his insightful new book, Jane Austen explored game theory's core ideas in her six novels roughly two hundred years ago - over a century before its mathematical development during the Cold War. 'Jane Austin, Game Theorist' shows how this beloved writer theorized choice and preferences, prized strategic thinking, and analyzed why superiors are often strategically clueless about inferiors. |
