Summary

Game theory plays a crucial role in our lives and provides startling insights into all endeavors in which humans cooperate or compete, including biology, computer science, politics, agriculture, and, most importantly, economics. Game theory is used in economics, corporate decision-making, international diplomacy and military strategy, psychology, and evolutionary biology.
