I'Ve live in an astornshingly complex world, Yet what we do in our
everyday lives seems simple enough. Most of us conform to society's
rules, pursue familiar strategies, and achieve reasonably
predictable outcomes. In our role as economic agents, we simply
peddle our wares and earn our daily bread as best we can.So where
on earth does this astonishing complexity come from? Much of it is
ubiquitous in nature, to be sure, but part of it lies within and
between us. Part of it comes from those games of interaction that
humans play-games against nature, games against each other, games
of competition, games of cooperation. In bygone eras, people simply
hunted and gathered to come up with dinner. Today you can find
theoretical economists scratching mysterious equations on
whiteboards (not even blackboards) and getting paid to do this. In
the modern economy, most of us make our living in a niche created
for us by what others do. Because we've become more dependent on
each other, our economy as a whole has become more strongly
interactive.
