Theory of Games and Economic Behavior

This is a masterpiece of applied mathematics to social science. From its publication the economic theory has been advanced and carried into a new world giving to the whole discipline the rigor of a science worth of this name. Thanks especially to the most scintillating genius of the past century, John von Neumann, a whole new line of studies and research - the game theory - has started carrying different Nobel prizes in economics for researches in this field. This is another masterpiece of human intellect where it all began, simply a must have it!

I bought this because I was sick of the lightweight treatment of Game Theory that can be found on the internet and wanted to go deeper - so I went to the source. I'd forgotten exactly how much maths is required for classical economics and this is absolutely no exception. The style isn't too bad if you're used to history, however the print isn't great, very dated reproduction and not even slightly crisp. Gets 5 stars because most of it's going to be totally beyond me, and life is pointless without a challenge.

The print is very bad. The letters are blurry. Better not buy this edition.

I just don't understand why publishers keep using these garbage low quality paper. I don't mind paying more for a book with descent paper.

... c'est vraiment trapu: il faut aimer les formules pleines de hiéroglyphes. Pour une approche moins ciblée sur le coeur du sujet, mieux vaut choisir un ouvrage généraliste sur l'ensemble des théories correspondantes.
