Theory of Games and Economic Behavior

Groundbreaking in its approach, this classic work laid the foundation for modern game theory, merging mathematics and economics. Authored by John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern, it introduced a strategic framework for understanding economic and social organization. Published in 1944, it has since influenced diverse fields, from political science to public health, by providing analytical tools for real-world scenarios such as arms races and salary negotiations in sports. Its impact continues to resonate across various scientific disciplines.
