The American economy is in deep trouble ...Time, patience, luck, sacrifice, and above all sound economic advice will be needed to avoid an epic tragedy. Obama lacks all of the above! He has little time, and voters have little patience. He had the bad luck to assume office before the economy hit bottom, and the public is in no mood for further sacrifice. Most importantly, he lacks a source of sound economic advice! Professional economists-with whom presidents are obliged by law to consult-have yet to propose a viable recovery plan. While some urge futile tax cuts and deregulation, others favor equally futile public works and deficit spending. Both will have to "unlearn" much of what they purport to know about capitalism and the free market system before either can direct an economic recovery.

What do chess-playing computer programs, biological evolution, competitive sports, gambling, alternative voting systems, public auctions, corporate globalization, and class warfare have in common? All are manifestations of a new paradigm in scientific thinking, one that the author calls "the emerging science of competition." Drawing in part on the pioneering work of mathematicians such as John von Neumann, John Nash (of "A Beautiful Mind "fame), and Robert Axelrod, James Case explores the common game-theoretical strands that tie these seemingly unrelated fields together, showing how each can be better understood in the shared light of the others. Not since James Gleick's bestselling book "Chaos "brought widespread public attention to the new sciences of chaos and complexity has a general-interest science book served such an eye-opening purpose. "Competition "will appeal to a wide range of readers, from policy wonks and futurologists to former jocks and other ordinary citizens seeking to make sense of a host of novel--and frequently controversial--issues.
