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.
Jane
Austen
,
Game
Theorist
shows how this beloved writer theorized choice and preferences, prized strategic thinking, argued that jointly strategizing with a partner is the surest foundation for intimacy, and analyzed why superiors are often strategically clueless about inferiors. With a diverse range of literature and folktales, this book illustrates the wide relevance of
game
theory and how, fundamentally, we are all strategic thinkers."--Jacket.
