Critical Game Theory

Humanistic and Radical Alternatives to the Mainstream

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book starts with an assumption that actors are controlled by diverse, inconsistent forces and shows that introducing this level of complexity allows for the creation of a wide array of critical game theory models that can help to attain new insights into nature, human nature, human institutions, and human behaviour.
