This book shows how our lives are shaped not only by the choices we
make, but by the choices we have. From dating, school and
university applications to the job market, understand the most
important decisions you'll ever make with insights from a Nobel
Prize-winner. Who Gets What and Why is a piquantly written,
mind-expanding exploration of the markets that matter most to many
of us. If you've ever sought a job or hired someone, applied to
university or guided your child into a good school, asked someone
out on a date or been asked out, you have participated in a
matching market. They are everywhere around us and account for some
of the biggest technological successes of the decade, like Uber and
Airbnb. Matching markets can even be the gatekeeper of life itself,
guiding how desperately ill patients receive scarce organs for
transplants. Alvin E. Roth shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in economics
for his pioneering research into market design - the principles
that govern all kinds of markets where money isn't the only factor
in determining who gets what. His book reveals what factors make
these markets work well - or badly - and shows us all how to
recognise a good match and make smarter, more confident decisions.
