Jane Austen, game theorist / Michael Suk-Young Chwe. by Chwe, Michael Suk-Young, 1965- Princeton University Press, 2013. Call #: 823.7 C564j Subjects Austen, Jane, 1775-1817 -- Criticism and interpretation.   Game theory   Game theory in literature.   Game theory -- Social aspects.   Rational choice theory. ISBN:  9780691155760 0691155763 Description:  xii, 272 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. 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.
