This is the classic work upon which modern-day game theory is
based. What began more than sixty years ago as a modest proposal
that a mathematician and an economist write a short paper together
blossomed, in 1944, when Princeton University Press published
"Theory of Games and Economic Behavior." In it, John von Neumann
and Oskar Morgenstern conceived a groundbreaking mathematical
theory of economic and social organization, based on a theory of
games of strategy. Not only would this revolutionize economics, but
the entirely new field of scientific inquiry it yielded--game
theory--has since been widely used to analyze a host of real-world
phenomena from arms races to optimal policy choices of presidential
candidates, from vaccination policy to major league baseball salary
negotiations. And it is today established throughout both the
social sciences and a wide range of other sciences.
This sixtieth anniversary edition includes not only the original
text but also an introduction by Harold Kuhn, an afterword by Ariel
Rubinstein, and reviews and articles on the book that appeared at
the time of its original publication in the "New York Times," tthe
"American Economic Review," and a variety of other publications.
Together, these writings provide readers a matchless opportunity to
more fully appreciate a work whose influence will yet resound for
generations to come.
