Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
This widely praised and much-discussed book explores how cooperation can emerge in a world of self-seeking egoists—whether superpowers, businesses, or individuals—when there is no central authority to police their actions.
Review:
"A fascinating contribution to the theory of cooperation, and written in a clear, informal style that makes it a joy to read."(--Times Literary Supplement (London))
Review:
"A remarkable mixture of theoretical analysis, anecdotal evidence, and a most unusual mode of empirical research...In it he applies the prisoner's dilemma to topics ranging from collusion among large corporations to U.S. involvement in Vietnam."(--James L. Gould and Carol Grant Gould,Sciences)
