Prisoners of Reason: Game Theory and Neoliberal Political Economy

摘要

As I sit in the shade of a French fig tree during the summer of 2016, waiting, seemingly, for the next terrorist attack to be reported, it appears self-evident that a social and political order cannot be secured by the threat of state sanction alone. It requires, in addition, a widespread normative commitment to that order. The force of the argument in S. M. Amadae's book is that game theory has contributed to us forgetting this essential fact. This is an important argument and it is central to the book.
