An updated and expanded edition of the classic introduction to
PPE-philosophy, politics, and economics-coauthored by one of the
field's pioneers Philosophy, Politics, and Economics offers a
complete introduction to the fundamental tools and concepts of
analysis that PPE students need to study social and political
issues. This fully updated and expanded edition examines the core
methodologies of rational choice, strategic analysis, norms, and
collective choice that serve as the bedrocks of political
philosophy and the social sciences. The textbook is ideal for
advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and nonspecialists
looking to familiarize themselves with PPE's approaches. Starting
with individual choice, the book develops an account of rationality
to introduce readers to decision theory, utility theory, and
concepts of welfare economics and consumer choice theory. It moves
to strategic choice in game theory to explore such issues as
bargaining theory, repeated games, and evolutionary game theory.
The text also considers how social norms can be understood,
observed, and measured. Concluding chapters address collective
choice, social choice theory and democracy, and public choice
theory's connections to voters, representatives, and institutions.
Rigorous and comprehensive, Philosophy, Politics, and Economics
continues to be an essential text for this popular and burgeoning
field. The only book that covers the entirety of PPE methods A
rigorous, nontechnical introduction to decision theory, game
theory, and positive political theory A philosophical introduction
to rational choice theory in the social sciences
